This is a wonderful airbnb with a great host and the views from the balcony are amazing (especially sunset from the left corner facing backwards). The hosts are unbelievably helpful and one of them went above and beyond to help me find a taxi and figure out how to get to my next accommodation. He even made me coffee while I waited. The accommodation was clean and stocked with everything that you would need for every day living. The location doesn’t get any better than this in my opinion. You’re close to many of the big attractions and there’s public transportation very close to the Airbnb.
There are however two things I should mention that may be a deal breaker.
- If you work remotely, the internet is simply not good enough. The download speed is pretty okay (usually around 10 mbps) but the upload speed is constantly between 0.52 mbps - 3 mbps (on a good day). Zoom & WhatsApp calls worked fine. There are a few wifi connetions avalible and all of them are subpar. If you send lots of files, for work or leisure, it’s best to find another accommodation. I want to be clear though, the Internet has nothing to do with the hosts themselves but it’s just the location of the property. It’s an older building and the infrastructure is not able to accommodate faster Internet speeds.
- The door to the balcony doesn’t close fully. In my opinion, this is not a big deal as nothing can come in from outside. The only issue may be some sounds from outside, however it is a relatively quiet street and the odd beep here and there isn’t bothersome to me.
Aside from these two things, it was a perfect accommodation that I would have stayed at longer had it not been for the subpar internet. If you don’t need faster Internet, this will be the perfect accommodation for you to visit the city.
