The apartment itself is very nice as other reviewers have said. Comfortable, nice beds, clean (except for some dirty dishes someone left in the cupboard), lots of space for five people, including a nice living room and two balconies.
However, several problems made our stay less than ideal. Robert was a very responsive host, and did his best to help out, but we ended up spending a lot of time dealing with the glitches and some discomfort. We did not have hot water the first night and first morning we were there. Robert sent someone over to fix it so that we had hot water from then on. However, after that we had no heat and the stove was not working. It turned out that someone had thrown a rug against the gas shut off valve in a closet (maybe when the hot water was fixed?) so that there was no gas for either heat or the stove. In the end, we had a fully functioning apartment (heat, hot water, working kitchen) for only about 24 hours of our 4-night stay. In addition, the elevator broke down, so that we (including a senior who had recently had knee surgery) had to walk up to the fifth floor. This was out of Robert’s control, but on top of everything else, made for a frustrating experience.
That being said, all of these things seemed to be temporary problems, and the apartment was nice. If the wrinkles get ironed out, it will be a good place to stay
