Pros:
Julia’s apartment is located in a quiet neighborhood, a short walking distance from fabulous eateries and coffee houses. The place is set up nicely with enough room for 4 people. Full functioning kitchen is available if you are into cooking ( you will need to bring all the ingredients and spices) nice big TV, good shower and toilet.
Ceilings are tall and abundance of natural light provide for a spacious feeling. The windows insulated the cold and sound and the blinds work well.
Julia put a detailed instruction in PDF. Use it.
Cons:
Everything we are saying here we communicated directly with Julia about.
Most of these cons are fixable. And once the host takes care of them it can be an amazing place to stay.
Pets are allowed.
On our visit the place was not clean, Raytheon floors, rugs, sofas and throw blankets (Shower, toilet and kitchen were clean)
The sheets and blankets were stained and old, smelled.
The Brita water filter broken.
The sofa was broken ( we fixed it)
No trash can in bathroom.
The shower curtain misses the inner plastic to prevent water going out.
We were three guests, there only two sets.
The heater is very loud and comes on and off with out ability to regulate it. ( at least we could not)
You can hear people walking upstairs.
We are super hosts and know that it takes care and intention to make the stay feel wonderful. Especially with the things we as guests touch, like sheets and blankets.
Overall this place is good. We just hope Julia will fix these and make her apartment great.
