PROS: The apartment was very clean - and bright and airy. The beds were comfortable, kitchen had most supplies. There are two living room chairs in the photos but they were not in the apartment when we arrived. Good location near restaurants and shops, and we always found street parking. The balcony was a nice- to-have, but the heat and rain kept us indoors most of the stay. Just fyi: the building entrance is on the backside of the building - near the rubbish bins and between parked cars.
HOWEVER, there were security issues, which we raised immediately, including the broken lock on the door (tall window) leading to the balcony and the busted doorframe on the building's entry (this was fixed within two days of reporting it). Michael was responsive, BUT - the broken lock on the door to the balcony was not fixed.
BE AWARE: This is a security issue that has been raised several times in previous reviews over the last 3 years - and it has not been fixed. Michael told us the owner wouldn't let him fix the lock after he had already responded, twice, saying he would send a handyman to look at it - so it didn't seem a good-faith response given the previous reviews.
WHY IT'S AN ISSUE: The balcony sits along a line of at least four other balconies from apartments and a restaurant that have direct access to this apartment. This made us very uneasy and unsafe insomuch that we rigged the top window sill with bottles and other breakables in the case someone did try to open from the outside - not an ideal solution when it could be fixed with a simple $7 lock.
Other things that would be nice to be addressed for future guests: the heavy glass dining table top is not properly affixed to its stand, torn sofa cushion, broken luggage rack, very dirty blanket on the sofa, and hit or miss coffee maker.
All in all - this would be an ideal place aside from the security concern with the balcony. I hope this prompts the host to fix this.
