This place is good, and we're glad we stayed here. There are pros and cons though - I suggest reading both (the pros probably win!)
If you're looking for reasons not to stay here, they're fairly minor:
- the shower was a bit odd, and never quite hot enough/enough water pressure
- there's only 2 mirrors (although the apartment technically sleeps 10 people), one in the bathroom and a skinny full length mirror in one bedroom
- there's literally nowhere to sit, except on a bed or the floor in the hallway
On the upside, if you're looking for reasons to stay here:
- the location is great, it's 3 min walk to the 145 station and express trains go into downtown in like 15 mins, and come really often
- the sheets are SO SOFT! Seriously the best sheets I have ever slept on, and I've stayed in a lot of hotels!
- there's a guy selling fruit on the corner 24/7 (you can buy berries, grapes, everything, at 3am!)
- hairdryer and straightener provided
- fairly quiet neighbourhood, we didn't hear much from neighbours etc
We were initially concerned about it being a bit of a sketchy neighbourhood but it's really fine. Some really beautiful houses nearby too.
I wouldn't necessarily stay here again (because I like to explore different areas) but we're really glad we stayed here and would probably recommend it to friends (noting the negatives above). All up though, it's a good stay for the price, particularly if you have more than 2 people staying here :)
