Strengths: The apartment was clean and comfortable, the location was very good, and the check-in/check-out process was made very easy by the keyless entry pad. The host was responsive and proactive.
Weaknesses: My unit was on the third floor without an elevator. I had heavy suitcases and dragging them up was not fun. A heads up would have been good. The biggest issue with this place, however, was the lack of what I consider to be the basic items. I have stayed in many Airbnbs around the world, and some things are always considered as the essentials. For example, while many places don't offer shampoo, I have never stayed in a place without hand soap or any kind of cleaning materials. I cut my finger dragging the suitcase upstairs and there was nothing to clean my hand with before heading to the pharmacy. The listing checks the "essentials" as provided, and soap is part of the essentials to me. Also, there was no hangers. Granted, when I looked back, I noticed that hangers were crossed out, but in my many travels, I have never needed to pack hangers so it didn't even occur to me to check this (they consume too much space in the traveler's luggage, but are inexpensive and easy to provide for the host, so why not include them?). Add to this list no hairdryer and other simple items that are commonly provided by any hosting service these days, and for the expensive price ($588 for 2 nights), this service was not thrilling.
