The only real positive about this apartment is the location, particularly if you are planning on going to the zoo.

That said, the "location" is also above a restaurant (it's the same building and obviously owned by the same people). One of our 2 nights, there was a LOUD party at the restaurant until close to 11pm and you could hear it in every room of the apartment (given the single pane windows don't insulate/seal well and even the doors had wood rot where noise and air just filtered in). The restaurant office is also just below one of the bedrooms and they slam open and shut the door all evening.

The apartment also reeked of air freshener, it was nauseating. We put the 3 air fresheners we found outside but two of the bedrooms are carpeted and apparently doused in very perfumey products. I guess it's fine if you have no sense of smell but it was truly horrendous.

The hot water in the bathtub seems to have a mind of its own and the knob moves on its own, it nearly scalded my 2 year old.

The second bath is basically a closet where the edge of the toilet seat is not more than 6 inches back from the wall in front of it.

And lastly, there is a fair bit of dust in the apartment. Just look at the top of the water heater by the bath, the dust layer is very thick and has obviously never been cleaned.

I can't help but wonder if all the great reviews are all verified travelers. If so, we had quite a different experience.
