I want to start by saying I'm overall satisfied. It was significantly less expensive than other options in the area, I wasn't sure what to expect, and I found it to be clean, minimalistic, and functional. If I'm in the area again and needing an inexpensive place I will stay there again.
That said, this review will focus on a few specific surprises / gotchas / things I would have liked to know beforehand, so that you can make an informed decision based on whether these things are important to you, or consider them a small price to pay in order to, uh, have a small price to pay.
The place is very minimalistic. There were two towels, two hand towels, but no floor mat. In fact there are no floor coverings of any kind — no rug, carpet, or welcome mat. The floor is cement and is cool but not cold. The heating and cooling work fine. I was provided with a bar of Dove, new and unopened, and a travel-size combo shampoo/conditioner.
The internet worked fine sometimes and at other times was agonizingly, in fact unusably slow. (Techies, I tried the 2.4, the 5, and direct ethernet, so it wasn't the wifi.) In order to get work done during high-traffic times I tethered to my cell phone.
There's functional silverware, dishware, cookware, and literally nothing else. I had a small spill on the floor in and to clean it up I used toilette paper. You get the idea. Minimalist. Pillows, blankets, even the decorations, are all present but bargain quality.
The biggest inconvenience was check in and check out. You'll need to first find street parking — and note the street is No Stopping 7-10am and 4-7pm — then use a gate code to get into the building, a door code to get into the apartment, to retrieve the parking garage opener. Then go back out to your car and you can park in the garage and unload. For me this process took about 20 minutes.
Check-out is similar. You'll need the clicker to get your car out onto the street, but then you'll need to return it to the apartment before you depart. Again, note the no-stopping times above.
Like I said, these are the surprises / gotchas / things I wish I'd known. And, like I said, given all that, yes, I would stay there again if the price difference still holds.
