Pros
Excellent location - there is so much to do in walking distance of this place. Anything that’s a little too far to walk is still a quick cab ride away.
Very secure with codes and locks at both the entrance to the building and the unit.
Heated floors in the bathroom are a nice touch.
The balcony area was lovely. It’s the perfect space for eating and relaxing and enjoying the fresh air. It overlooks a small, quiet park this is also very nice to enjoy.
Cons
No coffee filters were provided, despite there being a percolator in the kitchen. It wasn’t a hassle to get them, but it wasn’t great to have to purchase 100 coffee filters to only need 6 of them. Not having that available takes away the “home away from home” aspect that we usually expect with Airbnb. We left the box so hopefully the next renters will get to use them too.
The first two days of our stay the internet did not work. Even if one of us could connect, it was extremely slow and would cut out after a few minutes. This issue resolved itself eventually and we had no issues for the rest of our stay, but this is something worth noting if you are staying here for work.
Odd
There’s a sign beside the controller for the ac unit that has very confusing language. It says to not turn on the air conditioning because it will mess up the building’s heating system. However, the air conditioning unit is an electric one that independent of the building system. We sent a message asking how we should proceed using the air conditioning. They replied that we were good to use the air conditioning, and we had no issues the rest of our stay. The signage was very confusing and perhaps not relevant to the system in this unit.
There are plastic pieces (about 1 x 2 inches) on all 5 of the pillows. They seem to be there to keep the zippers from being opened, but I’m not entirely sure. Finding these plastic pieces was mostly just odd and not very comfortable when adjusting the pillows during the night.
