I have found reviews to be very helpful in choosing locations to stay, so I thought I would highlight the pros and cons of this space for our family of four (two adults, one child, one infant):
Pros: Great location (close to many nice restaurants and bars), aesthetically pleasing, quiet neighborhood/neighbors, beds were comfortable, there is a lot of natural light in the living room / kitchen area, paying for the extra parking spot was a major plus, ability to enter from front and back (back entrance to the second floor via a spiral staircase), general amenities in the kitchen, washer and dryer were a great “plus”. Temperature controls were also great - we were very comfortable, especially given the heat in mid-July.
Cons: I was disappointed with the level of cleanliness, especially after noting a few reviews that said how clean this space was. We found hair (and several different types) in the beds in both bedrooms, wrapped around the hand towel in the bathroom and an actual hunk of hair on the tub faucet. The shower didn’t seem to actually be scrubbed — on two shelves there was visual grime and hair that I cleaned myself and there was pink fungus and a ton of build up on the shower head. There were also several spots of pink fungus and shower gel on the shower curtain upon our arrival. I typically never leave detailed reviews and try to be understanding, but thought this was important to note for those who appreciate a clean space. Both the front and back of the home were full of weeds and we were disappointed that there were no wine glasses or glass cups for drinks (though obviously not a big deal). If you have high standards for cleanliness, please note that there are parts of this apartment that have not been “deep” cleaned in a while (walls, cabinet fronts, doors). When we arrived there were also several cup rings on the table which came off easily with soap and water after my husband wiped it down. TV is pretty complicated and if my husband wasn’t knowledgeable with tech stuff, we wouldn’t have been able to use it at all. Also, the internet wasn’t working and when we asked for help the next day, the owners were very responsive, but sent my husband into the apartment below (giving him their apartment code) to reset it and the guests were home (after being told the apartment was vacant), so he walked in on them. Very awkward situation and definitely inappropriate. Also, we were excited about enjoying the rooftop, but the furniture / space felt a little sad given the worn down & rusted furniture.
