Host: Our host was very communicative and helpful throughout the entire process. We arrived after midnight and found that the room had not been turned over from the previous guest. We messaged the host and received a response within minutes and, after providing photo documentation, received a with a code to another unit. Directions and check-in instructions were very detailed and helpful. Be sure to pay close attention to the address!!
Location: Fantastic. Near multiple T stations and walkable to a ton of famous tourist sights/areas.
Room/building: The unit is sparse and simple. We didn’t plan on spending a ton of time in the room and weren’t looking for a luxurious place, but nonetheless there are three things to be aware of.
1. The building appears to be repurposed student housing, so you will get the associated noise that comes with that. You will also get a lot of outside traffic noise (earplugs are included).
2. There’s no hot water in the shower. After running the shower for ten minutes the best it got was lukewarm (pro-tip: flushing the toilet will give you a few seconds of hot water).
3. The network/password combo provided did not work, but the host responded within an hour and, after troubleshooting with us, provided a different combo that did work. If you do have time sensitive internet needs, be sure to check it upon arrival.
