This is a great apartment, however, here are the reasons why my rating is fairly low:
The apartment and the building are overall very nice but my stay was pretty stressful due to the following reason: when I arrived in the evening I found out that the instructions for getting into the apartment had changed. Rather than getting the key and fob through a lock box as initially described I was told that I had to get access to the building through the concierge whom I was not to tell that I rented an apartment. This made me wonder but I will keep my assumptions to myself. The concierge let me into the building and I found the key as instructed by the host in the apartment which was left open.
When I came into the apartment I was faced with a much bigger problem which was a malfunctioning fire alarm which was relentlessly beeping. I contacted the host but did not receive any assistance from her. I took matters in my own hands and deactivated the alarm so I could sleep. The alarm started up again after 9 hours. This went on from Friday night through Monday morning. I contacted the host repeatedly to request help with the issue but it wasn’t fixed until after the 3rd night. The host was apologetic but did not fix it or arrange to have it fixed until then. This was a very frustrating experience.
