I stayed in Tim's apartment with 3 colleagues. I hate to write a bad review, but the apartment detracted some from our trip and I feel it's important to share an honest review.
Pros:
- Fantastic location
- Tim was very nice, communicated well and was flexible with us when our check-in timing was disrupted by flight issues
- Relatively inexpensive per night
Cons:
- Lacking some necessities (shower curtain, hand soap, shampoo & body soap, trash can in bathroom, hand towels, etc.)
- Uncomfortable beds (2 murphy beds and 3 futon beds that were particularly uncomfy)
- Shower drain wasn't working when we arrived (Tim's team fixed this for us mid-trip but this should have been fixed before considering a previous guest commented on it in their review)
- Humidity: the main hallway and the 3rd bedroom were so humid the carpet and furniture always felt damp. My shoes got wet from the rain and then grew mold overnight while sitting in the damp foyer.
- The 3rd bedroom was practically unusable. The room has visible mold growing on the ceiling/walls and the futon was damp at all times. Also, the ensuite bathroom was too small for use.
Ultimately I guess you get what you pay for. Tim's apartment was nearly 2/3rd the cost of the next similar-size apartment. I wouldn't stay here again, especially not if someone in our group needed to use the 3rd bedroom, but it could still work for a small group that is working on a tight budget.
