My stay didn’t work out due to some issues that popped up, but the unit itself is cute. It didn’t work for me bc I was put in the wrong unit with slightly different amenities.
The good: AMAZING location. You can’t beat it! Charming building, charming apartment. Small but has everything you need and it would be great for a vacation of 1-2 weeks for sure. If that’s what you’re looking for, this is a great deal and I’d highly recommend.
The drawbacks: The host had me deal with her housekeeper/assistant via text instead of AirBnb’s platform. I booked unit 2, which advertised a “private workspace” and free parking, but it turns out there’s a charge for the parking. When I arrived, I was put in a different unit, which didn’t have a private workspace (this was necessary due to my job). I was also worried that someone else would show up expecting this unit, since it had been booked. I reached out to the host but never heard back. Again, I had to deal with her assistant via text, which I just don’t trust and I didn’t know if I was getting accurate info. I ended up not staying. I reached out to the host several times to ask her what to do and how to give the keys back but she never responded, nor did her assistant. I finally called her assistant (who, it turns out, was at her other job at the time) to figure out what to do with the keys and I had to go through AirBnb to get this all sorted out and re-booked.
Dealing with these issues and the lack of communication was enormously frustrating. AirBnB wants us to communicate via the platform so being ignored and then forced to talk to someone random via text felt wrong.
Those things aside, I was placed in Unit #1 (check that listing out). Well-appointed, FANTASTIC location, would be perfect for a trip if you didn’t need a private workspace. My only real issues were the lack of communication after the mix-up (the unit I was placed in wasn’t comparable to what I booked bc of the workspace issue) and the fact that parking isn’t actually free.
