Pros:
- Good location
- Good amenities. The host provided plenty of things to make my stay comfortable, such as coffee, tea, and a variety of toiletries.
- The unit and the building were very clean
Cons:
- Noise. The building had very little sound proofing and I could hear other guests from inside my unit all throughout my stay. I do want to give the host credit for having "quiet hours" as a rule and providing ear plugs. However, I am not able to comfortably wear ear plugs and "quiet hours" were not enough; guests simply walking up the stairs, having a conversation in their own unit, and using the bathroom were all audible and disrupted my sleep. The building had a hostel-like feel, which I did not enjoy.
- Excessive house rules. I have never seen such a long list of rules anywhere I have stayed, some of which seemed like overkill.
- Excessive communication by the host. I received several messages from the host throughout my stay, beyond what was necessary communication. I understand the host likely wants to ensure guests have a good stay, but it felt a bit intrusive and ended up negatively impacting my experience.
