This was a very basic, no frills, fairly inexpensive stay in a great location. It’s very basic, so as long as that’s what you’re expecting, then this is fine.
DON’T expect any of the following:
- Wi-Fi fast enough for a video call. It’s is very slow. Tested at about 18mbps down, and less than 2 mbps up. The upload speed makes all zoom calls lag or drop.
- smoke detectors. There was an empty holder where one used to be, and a very old, painted-over, non-functional one. A somewhat concerning safety problem!
- a dresser or anywhere to put your clothes. There are a few hangers (for coats?) by the door. You will have to literally live out of your suitcase.
- towels for the shower. There were lots of hand towels, but nothing larger.
- a perfectly clean place. We found other people’s hair in the shower, and much of the furnishings are pretty old and dingy.
- a professional process. Instructions for getting inside was coordinated ahead of time. Everything else was ad hoc and we had to ask specifically: Wi-Fi instructions, towels, etc. No checkout instructions at all.)
Overall, it was fine, but very basic. It was about as expensive as a hotel room, but a little more space. In hindsight, I’d just get a hotel next time.
