Before I get into the details, I’d like to say that our experience at this apartment was all over the place. Some good, some bad. Below is a list of Pros and Cons we gathered during our 10 day stay here and why we ended up with 2 stars.
Pros:
- Location. Location was amazing! So close to all of the greatest restaurants and bars in the city.
- View. The view of the skyline is great. You can’t beat it!
Cons:
- Heating. The heat was hit or miss. Bedroom was very warm, living room has no heat. There are no space heaters either to accommodate the lack of radiators in the living room.
- Furniture. Super awkward. Could never become comfortable, even if we tried. Do not come here if you plan to work remote during your stay. Your back will be destroyed.
- Bed. The bed has a huge slump where the springs broke. Very uncomfortable and needs to be addressed.
- Aesthetics. We paid way too much for a place that hasn’t been maintained in decades. Seriously needs to have someone redecorate for an Airbnb/guest experience. Did not feel “homey” instead I felt like I was at my great-aunts house that smoked cigarettes day and night indoors.
- TV. This place does not have any streaming services, just cable. Not a huge issue, but requires you to use the HDMI cable to connect your laptop to stream anything.
- Neighbors. This was the nail in the coffin. Our last night at this apartment there was a HUGE fight that happened next door. A drunk man was kicked out and left in the hallway where he yelled and POUNDED on his Apt door for hours. Lasted from 2:30am-5am. Another neighbor called the police. We did not sleep a wink and were about to call the police ourselves if the neighbor didn’t.
The location was the redeeming quality of this unit as it allowed us to spend as much time as possible outside of the apartment. We dreaded going back to the unit.
