the apartment was overall nice, clean, conveniently located, and super safe. the check in and check out process was far from smooth. host provided very vague and confusing instructions which was troublesome. but the wifi was so reliable as were most of the provided appliances. the smoke detector was super sensitive to heat so we’d have to turn on the stove fan and open a window so the smoke detector wouldn’t start blaring. very grateful for the extra sheets, provided items, AC and heater. however, the listing itself excluded major details that we didn’t know about until we arrived.
this two bedroom is located on the second floor. it only has one small closet, a small drawer, and a larger drawer which meant very little closet space. there is a balcony but there are no chairs there. there was also no indoor fireplace. the smaller bedroom had a shared wall with the unit across the hall and the walls were thin so unfortunately we could hear loud neighbors. the larger bedroom had the washer and dryer which was convenient but had its own set of problems. the dryer was weak and you had to run the cycle twice to three times.
street parking was limited due to construction happening nearby. fortunately there’s one garage space provided. but the space would constantly have random people parking there in spite of the host asking for our license plates to ensure that wouldn’t happen. and the garage stopped responding to the provided clicker for a little over a day. the provided TVs had frequent technical difficulties but the host replaced one of them with a new one.
the host was responsive, kind, and somewhat easy to get in contact with. building maintenance was super helpful and was around during business hours but would come a little later than the agreed time. overall a positive experience but we would’ve rated it a 5 if it hadn’t been for these accumulated inconveniences.
