This is a super spacious, cleverly designed and beautifully decorated apartment. With several issues. It was filthy. Absolutely covered in construction dust. Silverware and dining dishes, floors and carpets, beds, everything had a thick layer of construction dust. We were all choking on it and had to buy our own cleaning supplies and clean everything because the host informed us there were none for our use and couldn't bring any for several days. Second, there is no lock on the guest side of a door that is shared between this unit and another. The workmen (who worked noisily every day on the other unit) walked into our private space one night without so much as a knock. If we had not been home to direct them out immediately it could have been worse, but we were very stressed out about the potential for theft and danger to self after that. We did receive a partial refund for that night, however we still had no way of securing our unit from our side.
The construction noise was extremely disruptive to my job, and they used some harsh sealant chemicals that filled our apartment with noxious smells.
James is extremely friendly, responds quickly and really has a gem of a unit here if a few things get managed differently.
