The apartment was clean and spacious. It was also noisy, but I expected that based on the location and the previous reviews. I packed my earplugs and played white noise on my phone and slept well.
Unfortunately, a number of issues impacted by ability to enjoy my stay. Looking at the most recent reviews, it's clear that the following have been brought to the host's attention in recent weeks and they have not been addressed:
- Refrigerator is not working. It is plugged in but not cold.
- Wifi is spotty at best. I was unable to work from the apartment and had to go elsewhere because the connection was so poor.
- Multiple electrical outlets are not working. All of the outlets in the living room and sitting room are dead; it's likely there is a blown fuse somewhere. This also prevented me from working as there was no where to plug in my laptop that reached either of the desks.
- There is a light fixture hanging from its wires in the hallway.
- Most of the blinds are broken, including the pull string that would allow you to raise / lower them.
- A Nespresso coffee machine was present but K-cup coffee pods are provided
- No hair dryer and only one set of bath towels
This extensive list indicates to me that a third party company is managing the listing (rather than a real person), and they are doing a poor job. I won't be staying here or at any of the host's other listings again.
