Maria was a very accommodating host. However the apartment stay was not a great experience. Things I wish I had known before booking are below:
1. The floors slope badly throughout the property including the stairs.
2. The couch smells of body odor
3. The ceiling is low over the stairs so you need to take care not to hit your head as you walk up / down
4. The water pressure in the shower isn’t great and goes down if water is used elsewhere in the apartment.
5. It wasn’t very clean. Dust/dirt piled high on the wall hangings and a general sense of a place that was closed for a while.
6. The master bedroom’s bed is soft and sloping because of the uneven floor. Also it is situated against the wall so one person has to climb over the other to get out of / into bed.
7. The kitchen is tiny
8. Bathroom has no ventilation
The location was good. Cute neighborhood and proximity to Forrest Hills T stop was useful.
… but for the money, I would have booked elsewhere given the choice to do it over.
