Pros: vibrant, exciting neighbourhood, convenient location, good size living room and kitchen. Comfortable bed. Very clean.
The hosts were responsive and check in / check out went smoothly. I would note that I had a knee condition that worsened before my trip, and I had hoped to cancel a week in advance and potentially get a refund but they insisted on sticking to the official agreement, but that’s their right so I can’t really complain.
Cons: BROWN TAP WATER!!! At least for the first 15 minutes running the tap, then it clears. Probably a harmless thing to do with old pipes, but I bought bottled water just in case, and wasn’t comfortable taking a shower.
When you take the fees into account, it costs about as much as a Holiday Inn, so unless you specifically need a kitchen I don’t know that it’s a great value.
