Location was good, character and look of the unit was just as pictured, but be aware- the entrance was wet and slippery due to a leaking ceiling, and there is a steep staircase to get to the unit. The door to enter the unit appeared broken at first, but we were assure that it was only because they had to break in recently and the locking mechanism was functioning.
Also noted in many comments - the lock to the window to the balcony is still broken, there was no response from host.
Our biggest issue as the toilet. It was constantly running and upon further investigation we found the fill valve had broken and popped up and when I notified the host, he promised to get plumber out in the morning. The next afternoon after I sent a follow up message- Michael said his plumber was out of town and could not be there until Monday (this was Saturday) and to see if maybe it was just the flap. I sent pics, told him it was an easy Home Depot trip and he said he would let plumber know- to repair Monday.
Plumber came Monday and left wax on toilet seat, parts of the new filler on the floor and the old filler half out of the garbage.
Now to address the noise, we totally understand that this is a “busy” city but the noise was in excess. We also understand that this has been commented on before so we expected a little noise, but this was almost unbearable between the restaurant music till 10 pm and the paper thin walls where we heard every movement from the neighbors.
