The actual apartment was beautiful and comfortable. Well designed and the window AC kept the place nice and cool. We enjoyed our stay (in) the apartment.
The apartment was on the 3rd floor the walk up to it was challenging and the entire entrance (bottom floor of building) smelled strongly of cat urine.
When you walked into the entryway the smell just kind of knocks you over... we learned to just hold our breath walking in. We then had to walk up extremely narrow and steep stairs (made it difficult to get larger luggage up) the second floor didn’t smell so bad....then faced with another steep and narrow staircase...and these stairs leaned a bit almost as if the foundation wasn’t even.
By the time we made it to the third floor and got into our apartment we were able to enjoy the stay.
We were also quite disappointed there wasn’t water bottles available. All other Airbnb’s we’ve stayed at had bottled water available. We don’t drink out of the tap and once we climbed up the stairs and were ready to relax the realization we had to go back down and walk to a store just to get some bottled water was an extreme bummer. It was hot and there was nothing to drink except out of the tap.
On the way down the stairs one of our guests almost slipped because there is cloth stair runner/protector things that moved as you walked down the stairs. Also bring luggage back down these cloth protectors fell and dropped as we walked.
The second night there we woke up to pops and bangs at 3am. I went to the window and it was a couple of guys out front lighting fireworks. Right outside our buildings windows.
Overall it was a nice apartment and it was comfortable. The location was great for what we needed. But we wouldn’t book the space again because of the cat odor and challenging staircase issues.
