The apartment itself is BEAUTIFUL and dreamy, with thoughtfully arranged, vintage furniture, epic high ceilings, and creature comforts in mind, like tissues, shower toiletries, vanities, a moscow mule set, and an espresso maker and grinder. The issues seem to come from the building landlord and not the hosts. The entrance through the rear of the building is not so dreamy as one has to step around messy garbage bins and water leaks, and the foyer can smell
a little ripe in the humidity and heat. The balcony is a little worn and needed repair while we were there, which created some hassle on our last day. Be aware there is loud music from the Mexican restaurant downstairs from morning till night. Their food is good and the staff is super friendly, so just go say hello and that helps you not be grumpy at the noise. Overall it’s a beautiful place to stay in a great neighborhood, with just a few things to be aware of.
