This is an interesting place. There are so many good things and also a few mediocre things.
Let's start with the steps up to the penthouse. I did read that there were 42 steps up, and there were indeed 42 steps up. My assumption was that the stair situation consisted of 4 flights of 10 or so steps with a landing after each flight (typical staircase). This wasn't the case. They're 42 steps broken up in two flights of 21 steps with a small landing in between to catch your breath if you have a lot of bags to carry. The reason I feel this is important to make clear is that not everyone can go up that many steps at once. The steps are also very very steep. If you can get past that, keep in mind that there are several staircases inside the unit as well due to the many levels. The ones in the unit are not steep at all and are very manageable.
I recommend contacting Candace 24 hours before you arrive so they can turn on the air conditioner prior to your arrival. It took at least 24 hours for the unit to cool to a reasonable temperature, but after that it was great.
We did have a ceiling leak in the middle of the night due to heavy rain one evening which kept us up for most of the night. Since I didn't read the overview carefully before I got there, I was unaware that could happen, so for the people who go straight to the reviews like I do before skiming the house summary, please be aware that you could get a leak if it's raining. Upon arrival, we were asked to close the sliding glass door tightly and put down the wooden bar completely to avoid any leaks (which we did for safely reasons alone) so I'm not sure where the leak was coming from but it was only one of the nights and we didn't have any issues after that. There was also a lined trashbag handy which was helpful.
The hosts were very easy to get ahold of and answered all of my questions which was much appreciated.
The view on the roof was amazing, you could see the beautiful skyline and also it's great people watching for down below. My only gripe with that is that the rooftop furniture isn't at all comfortable and is a little small for such a big space.
The neighborhood was really cute and walkable. We especially enjoyed the ice cream shop right across the street.
Overall it was a good stay, not mind shattering or anything, but a good stay.
