The apartment has good sized rooms with big windows and lots of light. It is in a good neighborhood, close to public transportation. It is very clean. The kitchen is very usable, but nothing fancy. The bathroom is tiny. The sink is about 10” deep with a cabinet above it so you have to lean over the sink, under the cabinet to brush your teeth.
On the negative side, there is a lack of hospitality. There were no extra bin bags, no dishwasher soap, no laundry soap. I expected at least several days worth of each. There were no instructions on how to use the appliances, and Paris’ daughter met us to go over things. When I mentioned the lack of supplies, she acted like I was asking for the world. It apparently was her apartment, because her clothes filled most of the closet and drawers. We were staying for an extended time and needed the space. She refused to move anything. She even asked me to vacuum (Hoover) the communal stairs of the apartment, saying the residents shared that responsibility. What bothered me most was what felt like a complete lack of caring about our comfort and happiness.
The towels were old and thin, as were the sheets. A few touches could have made the place so much nicer.
The apartment did not have air conditioning, it had a fan, yet it was listed as having AC. It did not have network television, but access to Netflix and other streaming services.
