The neighborhood is magical—cozy and charming. The apartment is a little less so. It has a minimalist vibe but leans toward austere: a throw for the couch or an area rug (even neutral!) would go a long way toward making it comfortable. The photos are sleeker (filtered?) than the apartment appears in reality; the paint job is a bit rough, and there are switch covers and other random elements in the middle of various walls that have been painted white to blend in, but which take away from the overall aesthetic. The great room is uninviting, ultimately, but the bathroom, while tiny, is lovely and has shelves for supplies, and the bed is really comfortable. The hosts were absolutely terrific in terms of communication, and this feels like one of those apartments that needs just a little extra attention on the smaller details to get to the next level.
