The apartment itself is mostly depicted accurately in the listing pictures, which is always a good thing. However, there are some things you should know before booking. 1) The wifi was awful! The network they gave us would only show up once in a while, and was super slow. So were the alternate networks they provided on our request. 2) The building is not nice at all. The lobby is shared with a restaurant (not shown in the listing picture) that is not clean and attracts a lot of additional foot traffic. Every time you walk in or out of the building, you will have to deal with the restaurant patrons and employees using the same doors and lobby. The building was also not clean, and all common spaces are extremely dated. 3) The mattresses are like mush, felt more like used foam padding from a local high school gym than anything we have ever slept on. 4) The host is very bubbly but does not communicate proactively if there is an issue. We had a problem with the ceiling fan and light, and the host would only message us in reply – never to keep us updated or explain the delay in resolution. 5) The kitchen was really in need of help. The dish washer ran but barely cleaned dishes, there is no garbage disposal, the faucet has mold on it, and the glasses were cheap, overly used plastic. There were a few pots and pans, but this kitchen will leave you in need unless you plan on ordering out your entire stay.
If you are looking for a crash pad and decent amount of space, this is your spot. Particularly for the money – a lot of space for a decent price. But if you plan on making the most of your space, you want to look elsewhere.
