This was a lovely place and the pictures are accurate….however….the floorboard were clearly rotting even though there was a new floor on top. You would walk and your foot would feel like it’s sinking and loud creaking. The key/door lock should have been explained better. Given four keys. Three of those keys didn’t work so you had to play guess they key. There were two keyholes but one keyhole wasn’t used so it was just there. But no one told us that. And the door needed to be pushed open and was quite heavy. We thought the door was locked and it actually wasn’t.
The washer/dryer was a great idea! Except! The electrical is so old in the building it clearly was not able to handle the appliance. Electrical burning smell came about while the machine was going and fire went off. Also, we plugged in our world plug converter and boom…spark from the wall and it fried my converter. So we bought a new one and tried a different outlet…it worked but we were afraid to use any other outlets.
It would have been great to have a few simple items in the apartment. For example, paper towels, a couple extra towels, hand towels, face cloths, tissues, hand soap etc. Normal every day amenities would have been helpful.
It was also very loud at night even though it was supposed to be a quiet area. People were yelling and banging on random doors including ours one night. It was a bit unnerving. One night someone watched tv so loud we could hear every single word of the program. It was very hard to sleep. We also had our one year old who woke up quite a bit from the loudness when she is a great sleeper even when away.
The manual wasn’t really a manual. It told us to take out the trash but didn’t say where to put it. It didn’t leave any helpful instructions like where to leave the keys, how to use the WiFi, the door, places to eat, things to do, grocery stores, just every day suggestions is really what I’m getting at.
It would be beneficial to invest in a pack and play if you’re going to advertise it’s good for children. I mean we made is childproof on our own but at least no cactus plants and glass items on the floors. The bed on wheels is not safe for a child.
The apartment was nice and new looking but it was purely cosmetic and really needed an overhaul to handle the underneath of everything. The host was very nice and accommodating with our arrival time and thank her so much for that.
