As much as I really like Paul and found him very accommodating, I think for fellow airbnb’ers I should note a few things.
1. The noise from outside is very noticeable, cars, motorcycles, neighbors, garbage trucks, its noticeable.
2. The bed is a spring mattress, and I can tell where everyone has slept. You can feel the groove of previous bodies and feel the springs, I actually slept on the couch to try to be further from the window because of the noise and to avoid the springs.
3. Water gets luke warm, I wanted to take a hot bath but maybe it’s a centralized water system? Or maybe the heater wasn’t turned high enough? But for me personally I couldn’t get a hot bath, only luke warm water.
But other than these 3 things, the condo is very well designed. I think for this condo it is definitely design over function. So if you are a heavy sleeper and want to stay in a stylish place, this is where to go. Paul is very nice and accommodating. And actually the security guard was even helpful and not at all scary.
I wish I could have liked it more and I always welcome a response from Paul, but to be fair to other travelers who are light sleepers, I just wanted to share my experience.
To be very honest, I booked 3 days 2 nights and on the 2nd night I actually paid more and went to CitizenM hotel because I just wanted a good night’s sleep.
