Positives:
-The apartment was nicely decorated, cozy and perfectly located- close to restaurants, cafes, bars and public transportation.
- The bed was one of the most comfortable beds we've experienced at an Airbnb and the back bedroom (by the bathroom) was far enough away from the main street that there was very little street noise at night
- The kitchen was well equipped which is great for those who like to cook
- When there was an issue with the water being shut off the host was responsive and communicative
Negatives:
- The noise from the nearby bars impacted ability to sleep in the street facing rooms. All the way until 4am every day, not just weekends. We tried whitenoise and fans, but the racket was too great. Be wary if you plan to use these rooms. The back bedroom was fine re: noise.
- We were left only half a roll of toilet paper for 4 people for 4 days (definitely not enough) and when we brought this up to the host we were told to purchase our own. No local stores sold toilet paper in less than a 12 pack which is way more than we needed so we had to settle for a package of wetwipes which kind of sucked.
-When we arrived we noticed that we had less than one full jug of drinking/cooking water and mentioned it to the host at check-in; he said it would be no problem for him to order another when we got low, which we did in about 2 days. When we contacted him to let him know he then informed us that he could order us a new jug but that we would have to pay for it and we would have to be there for the delivery to receive it (which impacts our travel schedule) so we ended up having to go out and buy our own drinking water as well.
- The last day in the apartment the water was shut off for the entire day which meant non of our party of 4 was able to do laundry, shower, flush the toilet or do dishes. The issue wasn't able to be resolved until after 1:00am the morning we were scheduled to leave.
