First of all, the positives (as this is a shorter list):
1. Location is fantastic!
2. The apartment is well presented and a good size. We were a family of 4 (2 adults, teenaged daughter and young son) and had enough room (despite having to change where our son was going to sleep last minute, due to inaccurate picture of second bedroom - see below for more info).
Now for the negatives:
1. VERY IMPORTANT: Contrary to what is stated in the description, the property does NOT have lift/elevator access and there are a number of stairs to climb to access the apartment. There is a lift in the building, however it STARTS on the floor that the apartment is on.
2. When we visited there was a heat wave and the air conditioning was not working - it was stifling in the back bedroom! The Host had bought a portable a/c unit, which wasn't working well and did nothing to cool the apartment as it had to vent hot air out a tiny gap in the open window, which didn't work. They told us they were sending someone to fix the air conditioning, but they never showed up. If having central air-conditioning in a place is as important to you as it is to us, you may wish to drop Arcore a line and ask if it is working before you part with your money. There is one fan.
3. There is no 'dryer' in the apartment, despite being listed as a feature. There are two airers only.
4. Check in process is minimal and there is no useful info in the apartment about things any guest would need to know, i.e. WIFI password, what to do with trash, check-out procedures, etc. Each time we needed to know something we had to message them and then wait for a reply to get the information we needed. We never did find out what to do with trash, and ended up having to put it outside the apartment in the lobby so that it didn't stink out the place.
5. As you would expect from a place in a City Centre location, there was a large amount of street/traffic noise in the apartment. Didn't bother us as we were out all day and it wasn't really heard in the bedrooms at the back of the building, but a warning if you like the quiet! What we didn't expect or appreciate, however, was that the apartment is above a club that is open until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays and this is at the back of the building, directly below the bedrooms. On the Saturday night we were there, it was so loud that the bed shook.
6. There is no sofa in the second bedroom (as shown in the picture) - be warned if, like us, you intend to have a child sleep on it! When we raised it with the Host, they said that it wasn't mentioned in the bedroom description, basically implying that they can show what they want in a picture, no matter how inaccurate and it doesn't matter if it's not backed up in the text. This coming from a Host who has a wildly inaccurate textual description of their property too.
7. The host ('Arcore') was initially helpful and responsive to our questions, but later stopped communicating with us once we started informing them of the issues with the apartment.
In summary, this place is in a fantastic location and if you either don't care about or can overlook the problems listed above, then good luck to you - I'm sure you'll have an excellent stay!
