This place is FINE. That's the best way to describe it. It's pretty soulless, being a fluorescently-lit, IKEA-furnished single room with the only window being fake. I don't think there's any way to improve that. Location is as-advertised. It's very close to everything. Pillows are harder than the mattress, which is a testament to the mattress, and an indictment of the rock-hard pillows. My neck is still out of whack. Shower water is *almost* hot enough, but not enough to be truly pleasant. Kitchenette is as-described and adequately stocked with the very basics. There is a smart TV, but it is not hooked up to cable and none of the apps are signed-in, so it's really up to you to provide your own entertainment, which is fine, I guess. It's also definitely a very crappy cheap smart TV. When attempting to use AirPlay, the lag between the audio and video is pretty appalling, unlike the smart TVs my family and I have in our houses. On amenities alone, there is nothing that would make me choose this over a hotel room. If the price were the same, I'd go with the hotel room.
Alex was very responsive and helpful whenever contacted. Given the nature of my trip, it was never an issue, but the strict language in the house rules about having guests over stood out to me as weirdly draconian for a private Airbnb that isn't shared. None of these things are really that bad, but cumulatively they contribute to a vibe that distinctly lacks a "welcoming" feeling. So again, there isn't anything particularly bad about this place. It is perfectly adequate, best described as "FINE." It's just not somewhere that has any kind of charm or character. I would probably stay here again, but I would likely check out some other places before booking.
