Pros: Close to the train, good neighborhood, easy check-in, kitchen is convenient
Cons: Smelled faintly of cigarettes when we walked in but we got used to it (yikes), they only left two towels for our weeklong stay and one of them had a brown stain on it, the bed frame is cheap and squeaks so much if you barely move around so we woke up constantly throughout the night, ran out of toilet paper (only left one extra roll for our long stay), no shampoo/conditioner/body wash so had to make a drugstore run, feels overall dark and is an old dusty apartment - didn’t feel clean to walk around barefoot.
small improvements that could go a long way: add some toiletries to shower, leave extra towels and blankets and basic necessities, switch out the bed frame, leave slippers for guests.
this stay convinced me that i’d rather pay extra to stay in a hotel where things feel clean and comfortable after a long day running around the city vs. a cheaper airbnb that makes you long for home.
