The place was cute and clean. Alhambra is a nice area - I enjoyed eating from the local restaurants and it was easy to walk around. The WiFi was fast as advertised and the bed was comfortable.
I had a few issues during my stay.
There was no AC in the bedroom which was communicated in the post, but I didn’t expect it to be so hot - it was broiling when I checked in and didn’t really cool down my first night there. I ended up falling asleep with an ice pack. Jill brought an extra fan the next day and I was able to rig up a fan chain that blew the AC from the living room into the bedroom, but I probably wouldn’t recommend staying there during the hotter days of summer - it got cool enough for me, but I think it still would have been too hot for people I know who run “hotter”. She did bring a Starbucks gift card for the inconvenience which was a nice gesture.
There was also a blackout that lasted over 12 hours and an issue with the neighbors blocking my parking space while I was there. The host was quick to respond but didn’t really offer any solutions - I ended up staying at an acquaintance’s house during the blackout because we couldn’t get a read in when service would return. I also lost a fridge full of food.
Obviously these are transient issues so may not affect future stays and I would still recommend the apartment, but I couldn’t give my stay a 5 star review.
