Let me preface that despite the issues I had at this place, I would still book it if I had the chance as the value and the location weighed more heavily over everything else. While researching places to book, i didn't find anything that beat the price of this studio with the full kitchen, washer/dryer and prime location close to the metro-line and heart of the city. When I had issues, the prop manager was very communicative as well.
Some of the issues I had, starting with the noise. This is something really outside of their control as the walls are just really thin. You can hear conversations pretty well from the next-door neighbor and the footsteps above are quite prominent. In addition, the front door is quite loud when it swings shut so you'll be able to hear it when people move in and out of the building. It wasn't a huge deal as time went on - maybe I just got used to it? But just be aware that there's a possibility of the sound levels irritating you - the apt is in the heart of the city after all.
Second, the cleanliness of the apartment. Instead of the hardwood floors that are advertised in the photo, the living room/bedroom is covered in carpet. Not a big deal, except when I checked in - it was quite obvious that it hand't been vacuumed thoroughly, as there were still hair/dust that you could discern just by glancing at the floor. Additionally, when I went to the bathroom on the day of check-in there were clear dirt shoe-prints as though somebody just walked through. I let the property manager know and she apologized but, it just made me wonder what else they hadn't thoroughly cleaned throughout the apt, so it made me a bit uneasy.
When I first checked in, as well, there was no information given. Some places usually send an email or have a little booklet with info about where to dispose of trash/wi-fi password, etc, but there was nothing like that. I was able to get into the apt no problem, but there was no further information given which would have been helpful to have.
About a month in to living at the airbnb, the prop manager called me and told me that I might want to consider paying a service for someone to come and clean the apartment twice a month. I was confused and stated that I did not want to pay a service as this call was coming out of nowhere. She recounted a story of how a previous tenant had an extended stay and left the place a bit of a mess, and they only had a few hours to clean it before the next person checked in. This was odd, as I failed to see how this related to me. There was nothing stipulated previously about paying for someone to come and clean - so I said I wasn't going to pay for the service, which she said was okay - just to keep the place clean, which I thought was a given and ironic, considering the state of the apt when I first arrived.
Lastly, on my check-out day, I had previously confirmed to get a late check-out at 12 pm, as there would be no one checking in the same day. However, the prop manger came by on my check-out day at 9 am to let me know that unfortunately, someone had booked it afterwards - but I could still keep my late checkout. This was appreciated, and she asked me to start the wash for linens - which I obliged. I finished packing and went to get lunch at 11 am, and came back at 11:45 to pick up my things only to find that the door was locked. The property manager and somebody was in the apt, already starting the cleaning process. And while it was close to the checkout time, I didn't appreciate someone being in the apt, while my things were still there, without my knowledge. If she had called beforehand to say she was going to enter the unit early to start cleaning I would not have minded at all, I just did not appreciate being blindsided like that.
So, TLDR there was some issues with overall noise levels, communication with the property manager and the overall cleanliness of the apartment upon check-in process. If you're not super fussy about those things, then this apt is a really good option as it is close to anything/everything and the metro is nearby making it convenient for travel.
