Pros:
Location is really great.
Responsive host
Living room well appointed and nice but didn’t use it much as it was too hot.
Cons:
- No air conditioning. For an apartment on the top floor during summer months, it gets really hot. In the evening it was more hotter in the apartment than outside. Fan helps a little but you need to have that running all the time throughout the night right in your face :)
- The bathroom is awkwardly tiny. Can’t sit normally on the toilet (and I’m only 5’10’’. Never experienced a bathroom this small. Tighter then a portapotty :) The shower is so tight, kept banging into the shower holder.
- For a couple of days, the internet wouldn’t connect to some popular sites like twitter. This was resolved with a call to the provider (this should be a one time issue).
- To open the apartment door takes some finessing. You need to push and pull the door to unlock the door. A little weird, but once I got the hang of it, it was fine. Glad I tried this out before I left in the evening, as it would be worrisome if I couldn’t open up the door late at night.
- Lots of stairs. As mentioned this is a top floor unit. Walking up after a night out drinking might be problematic as the stairs are a bit awkward as spirals up on the top floor.
- Little bugs. Freaked me out when I saw a small bug run across my arm while in bed. Not sure what it was.
