This apartment location cannot be beat. If you’re traveling on a budget or with pets and willing to sacrifice a lot of comfort, this one may be for you. If you’re planning to work remotely or traveling with elderly or fragile guests, pay more and go elsewhere.
OR you can adapt. The space is great if you can overlook all the dog hair and debris on the couches and floors. Prepare to bring a space heater or heated blanket to wrap yourself in at all times since the building’s heat is centrally controlled and at best the host can adjust it to barely-tolerable-cold. TIP: the dials on the two ancient cast iron radiator heaters are like the units themselves, purely decorative. The living room is dark, or set to permanent mood lighting? Just Amazon yourself a cheap floor lamp. Don’t be surprised if while lounging in the living room a couple strangers try to break in without prior warning, punching in the access code and barging in as “housekeeping.” You can call or text the host of this concern and he will be unaware and later assure you that it was in fact legit housekeeping.
If you’re trying to work remotely, forget about it because the WiFi name and password you were given are wrong. When you inquire with the host, he will excuse himself for being out of town and unable to reach his contractor to address it. You will miss online meetings and after repeated reminders to the host you will finally get access once they’re over.
If you’re ok with all this, then again you’re getting a great deal on location, right next to the Scandals Nightclub! Cheers! 🥂🌈👑💃🏻
