Gail’s apartment is a spacious studio with big windows, big bathroom and kitchen.
The apartment was clean and I would recommend it if looking for a relatively modern space, BUT bellow are some considerations to keep in mind before booking.
Note that the apartment’s address that is given to you upon booking is incorrect. The apartment is actually around the corner with a completely different street and number. Saving future guests the scare that I was met with when I asked for it from Gail who refused to send it to me for reasons that I still don’t understand. Just know that the address will be given to you eventually.
Checkin was also particularly challenging as I was told I would receive the code for the outdoor entrance 24hrs before check-in. So I waited and reached out the day before. Considering I had several luggages, and was arriving alone and late at night in an area that is sketchy, I wanted to avoid being stranded upon arrival. I asked him to provide on the day before as he stated, but when I did, i was told to wait until the day of. So again, I waited. In the morning of the big day, I followed up explaining the need to receive given my circumstances and received little empathy with the response telling me that the code would not be given to me until I was physically there. Sigh… Luckily, when I did arrive, someone opened the door for me.
If you’re planning on getting groceries delivered or an Amazon package during a long stay, forget it - Gail doesn’t now allow it. When I simply asked, I was met with threats to cancel my booking. Note that this was news to me as it had not been included as a rule on the apartment listing and I was just asking. Again aggressive.
If the above wouldn’t apply to you, than I would say, book it. But if you’re someone who needs questions answered or a host to communicate kindly without an aggressive tone, I would think twice.
