Really hard to rate this place. My biggest issues was not with the apartment itself, rather than the way how slow the owners respond to messages (usually it took a day, sometimes even several days), and how long it took to resolve whatever issue we had. Also, I missed the part where the owner knows about the place and has perhaps even lived there. For example, owners didn’t even know how the heater works. They have outsourced everything to someone else, and then you have to wait until some random other person comes in couple days (after waiting first a day or more for their reply). That makes everything really slow, especially annoying when you need the maintenance to fix something every week like we did. Owners didn’t even know how big is the bed, because when we had no extra sheets, they sent someone else to buy an extra ones, and this person had to first come to the unit to check the bed size. When the towels were bad quality and released tons of lint, I requested to get better towels, we got another bag of same kind of towels that were all over lint. That’s what happens when you outsource too much.. Of the unit itself:
- It’s not a big place, but me and my wife were able to stay there. Coffee machine is too small, only for one person.
- Internet stops working usually around 7-8PM. Of course netflix etc doesn’t work then.
- Walls are super thin and neighbors are blasting their tv on middle of the night like 1am, while another neighbor is hitting the wall. That guy didn’t care even when we complained about it.
- Cockroaches too, almost once per week.
- The neighborhood is ok, beach is very near but the street is a bit messy. Homeless people taking dumps to the middle of the street and burning stuff while damaging cars parked on the street. But that’s Venice, right 😂
