With a few easy changes, this apartment could be fantastic, but as is, it is only okay. Doors provided practically no soundproofing so things weren’t very private, the bedroom curtains were practically translucent, kitchen utensils were poor quality to begin with and very old on top of that. Not only is there no cable television, but no streaming device or HDMI cable were provided either. The outlets weren’t up to modern standards and very few of them would charge a device at the normal speed.
I get that this place is not as pricey as other options, but it pains me slightly how inexpensive it would be for the hosts to significantly improve the guest experience.
All that said, the location is so fantastic we decided to rent a permanent apartment two blocks away. If you’re never going to cook because you’ve got a per diem, like waking up every morning at 6:30, and are staying alone so you don’t care about privacy, this place would be awesome. I imagine that applies to many people, but certainly not all.
