Jasmine's place is located in a great spot, just steps away from a Metro station! I typically don't write long reviews, but I just want to give future guests an idea of what to expect, because this place was interesting. I'll include pros and cons from our stay.
Pros:
-LOCATION!! We really couldn't have stayed at a better spot. Steps away from the metro, tons of restaurants and shopping nearby, this area is incredible.
-Rooftop deck - we spent a lot of time up here and that amenity was incredible during our stay.
-Number of beds - This place could sleep a large family or group of people! If you are looking for a place in the city with lots of sleeping space, this is your place.
-Response time - Jasmine was very quick to respond to message and answer questions. When we arrived, the place wasn't entirely clean but Jasmine was quick to respond and come the next morning to help clean the place a bit more.
Cons:
-Access to building - the morning we were set to arrive, Jasmine sent us a very detailed set of instructions and let us know that the key was located around the corner in a lock box outside of a restaurant. This was a little confusing and felt a little odd to have to retrieve this down the road at a public business...We were also strictly instructed to NOT acknowledge the concierge in the apartment building, and to inform them that we were residents if anyone questioned us. This felt odd and uncomfortable and left us on edge every time we entered or exited the building.
-Cleanliness- when we arrived, the garbage and dishwasher had not been emptied, dirty towels were in the hallway, and counters and floors were not clean. Although Jasmine did come the next day to empty garbages and dishwasher and provide handtowels, the bathroom floors still had old hair on them, one of the bathroom curtains was moldy, and dirty towels were also left in a hamper in the hallway during our stay. The sheets also had a distinct smell, so we decided to wash our own sheets the first night because they did not seem clean. Of course, we may have just been sensitive to the smell so I am not certain that sheets were not clean upon arrival.
-The space - This 2 bedroom apartment has 23 (!!!) tables inside! We were constantly running into tables and having to maneuver around them. We actually counted them up because it was A LOT.
Overall, if you are looking for a good bargain in an incredible location - this is a great place to book. I have concerns about the overall cleanliness and orderliness of the apartment, but I can see how this would be a great space for a larger group of people just looking for a place to crash. Jasmine was a great communicator and did make efforts to address our concerns. I hope this review is helpful to you!
