If you travel with a suitcase, this might not be the place for you; traveling with anything more than a backpack, just know there is nowhere to put it. No shelves, no storage. Nowhere to put your suitcase. (Before I dive deeper into this review, please note that I lived in this tiny space for 8 weeks, and if you stay here for a few nights, OK, it's fine, but if you're looking to stay here for anything more than a long weekend, please read on.) You will just live out of your bag on the floor, taking up 3 square feet of your usable 8 square feet of living space. Other than that, there are many things this AirBNB NEEDS to do before I think anyone else should have to spend a ridiculous amount of money for a small closet with a bed.
- Add a photo of the window! The apartment says there is a large window which it does. But it faces a tiny 4 walled-in balcony for another unit. It has no view unless you love pigeons.
- Beeping and the door. The entire time I stayed here, something was beeping in the hallway every 16 minutes, then 24 minutes, over and over 24 hours a day for all 8 weeks. Luckily I left as soon as I woke up and attempted to never be in the apartment unless i was going to sleep; this needs to be fixed. It was madness-inducing. The door often gets propped open or stuck on the mail/doormat.
- The front door. I often thought it sounded like i was sleeping right next to the road, and it was a bit cold only to open my door to see the main entrance (that should be locked) wide open during day and night. Sometimes I walked home, and the door was wide open.
- No Rubbish bins (trash can). There is no place to put your trash or recycling in the bedroom or bathroom. Ever eat something and have a wrapper or, worse, cook? Well, you will just have to have a loose garbage bag sitting under the sink that is stuffed full of all the items that the landlord could not fit anywhere else because there is ZERO storage. For god's sake, just raise the bed for some storage and buy a trash can or something!
- The lighting. Have you ever needed a little light around bedtime but not the whole room lit up? Too bad this place does not have any lamp or bedside light of any kind. You say to me, "why don't you dim the lights?"…Well, you can't. It's one switch on the other side of the room opposite the bed, and it turns on all of the bright LED lights in the ceiling. So you get full brightness or pitch-black darkness.
- Have you ever worn a jacket and needed to take it off at home? This place does not have a hook of any kind in the apartment…come on.
- Need to blow dry your hair after a shower? Shave? Unfortunately, there are no outlets in the bathroom. Speaking of the bathroom, as you probably can tell, the bathroom is not connected to the apartment. I thought it would be fine, but needing to go to the toilet at night is worse than you think, and it gets old fast. And because this space was clearly not designed to be a bathroom, it has no ventilation other than a window that is stuck just slightly open. Which is not helping the paint job in the bathroom and, worse, leaves the bathroom so very cold (my trip was in February and March). You can not close or open it, I tried.

This review could go on for another 1000 words, but I think you get it. A lot of this could be made better, and I'm sure i will get a message from the landlord, but the landlord clearly never lived here and was keen on squeezing one more unit out of this building.
