Pros:
- The photos don't do justice either to the block this apartment is on, to the building it's situated in, or to the apartment itself. It is a GORGEOUS area and a GORGEOUS apartment.
- Good eats. If you're not so much into the bar scene, there are a few classy farm-to-table places within blocks as well.
- Incredibly well-stocked closets. Linens, towels, and as much soap or TP as you could possibly use.
- Amazingly quick communication. We're talking within seconds.
Cons:
- Mattresses are both extremely mushy, and tough to sleep on.
- Apartment seemed overall hastily cleaned -- the floors were dirty. If you walked around with your bare feet they would be covered in dirt & other random bits of fabric, etc.
- Very noisy upstairs neighbor who banged around late night & early morning and made sleeping tough.
- Air conditioning that didn't seem to work; I was sweltering.
- Unclear whether building/apartment has anyone on call when there are issues. I had a washing machine that stopped in the middle of a cycle and refused to restart. When I texted the owner he said he wasn't in the country and didn't seem to have any one else who could come to the apartment to address problems. That made me nervous.
