Overall Michael’s place is great. My wife and I and our 3-year-old daughter had a good stay. The location is pretty good. We were able to walk all over the city, but you could have easily taken several buses as well if walking isn’t your thing. The place was clean, and we certainly had all the details we needed to get checked in, but there were a few things that were less than amazing that it’s worth noting.
The listing mentions that it’s a Georgian building, and it’s worth noting it hasn’t been updated much. The windows are paper thin, so you can hear all the road noise. Luckily it’s a fairly quiet street, so it could’ve been worse. The drains get smelly every morning when the water hasn’t run for a while. The stairs leading up the to the apartment are quite dark. All of these things can’t be helped by the host, but they are worth knowing before you stay.
The apartment was extremely clean and fairly well appointed, but communication through the management company was difficult. It felt like most of our messages got lost in the plethora of automated messages.
On the whole, we had a good stay. The rounded walls are pretty fun, and the giant windows make the place really sunny. Plus, the location was really great.
