This unit on a lovely residential street with beautiful homes on the other side has pros and cons.
PROS:
*a great neighborhood with easy parking
*lots of amenities within walking distance
*sparkling clean and new unit completely furnished with Ikea everything
*super communicative and helpful hosts with quick response time
*car share services always show up within 2 minutes
CONS:
*if you are at all sound averse, this is a LOUD unit more like a tatami room than a Mies Van der Rohe concrete and metal building. you will hear every footstep, voice, car parking ++, more Motel 6 than Peninsula.
*even if you follow the house rules, quiet after 8 PM, your neighbors won't (and there are signs all over the unit in English and Chinese warning to be QUIET! ha!)
*there is no privacy if you want any natural light to come into the unit. they have vertical blinds installed so that if you want any light during the day, every neighbor will be looking straight into the living room and kitchen
