I had a nice stay at Christian's condo and really enjoyed the location. I was in town for a conference and able to walk to and from the convention center at the Marriott Marquis, so if you stay there it is probably one of the most affordable spaces in the area.
Some things I liked about my stay:
1. I was very thankful for the iron and ironing board because my clothes were a mess.
2. The building was quiet and the bed sheets were comfortable.
3. Although I wasn't the biggest fan of the technology, I did like that the door (seemed to) automatically lock behind me because there were a few times I went to lock it and it was already locked, particularly when I was INSIDE the condo. This did not happen when I was outside the condo, so I feel like the lock somehow knew. Maybe I am crazy, but that made me feel safe?
4. Christian responded quickly to help with the check-in process, which confused me at first.
5. I was permitted to leave 30 minutes past check-in time.
6. Privacy - Sometimes I just don't feel like dealing with the host lol or anyone else for that matter. I can be a loner. That's really the best thing about the smart lock. Sorry Christian. I just don't feel like dealing with people when I have to do it for several days straight...
7. Overall, the rules were not complicated. Check-out process was quick and easy. Didn't have to do much at all.
Some things to improve
1. Needed soap and shampoo
2. I personally prefer a slightly cleaner kitchen area. I feel like this might just be me, as so many people have commented on here about the cleanliness of the space. I have extremely high standards.
3. Maybe put a sign on the door that should not be opened. It took me about 15 minutes to figure out which door he was talking about because I was paranoid that I might have misread the instructions. Even after I came to an understanding, I was still scared that I was opening a door I should not be opening. I am pretty sure it was the door INSIDE of the closet. I did not open that one... lol, but yeah I make this recommendation only because the repercussions seem pretty severe (i.e., high repair cost)
