We stayed for three nights with a toddler and a 3-month-old baby. Hope my review will help future guests with young children.
Pros: 1) location is amazing. Target, H-mart, CVS are located within 5 minutes walk.
2) If you like to cook for your family, you can enjoy cooking easily since the apartment is quite well equipped such as pots, pans, silverware, and other cooking utensils. There was no cooking oil, salt, and pepper (I only found a bag of sugar in the kitchen closet).
3) Having laundry in the unit helped us tremendously in terms of washing children’s clothes when needed. You will be able to find laundry detergent under the kitchen sink.
4) Everything was pretty clean and well-organized.
Cons: 1) check-in: I didn’t receive any check-in instructions until we got there at 5 pm on the day. We had to keep messaging and calling the host to share the info. It was very frustrating to wait with young children outside under cold weather conditions.
2) drainage problem: on the first day, we found out that there was a drainage issue in the bathtub. It was already late so I messaged the host to fix the problem the following day (If you have children and follow bath routines even during the trip, you will understand how important it is). Unfortunately, it wasn’t fixed the next day either. My husband bought a liquid drain cleaner and later found a gross giant ball of tangled hair that clogged the drain (the host reimbursed the liquid cleaner price). Based on what I saw, I don’t think that we are the only people who had this drainage problem. I just wish the host paid more attention and fixed it promptly when it was reported by the cleaning team or previous guests. Regular drainage cleaning is strongly required for future guests.
