Positives:
Really great location. Host was responsive.
A few quality of life issues
- Bathroom is very old, lots of pipe rust, grime, stains, and generally feels very college-like and not well kept.
- The shower curtain was half hanging off the hooks so we had to fix them ourselves. Sink had no drain covers, and cabinets/drawers were dusty.
- The bathroom fan is so loud that it reached 70dB according to my watch. You can’t hear the TV in the living room if you have the fan on.
- No body soap. Host quickly offered to deliver it, but we didn’t receive anything. We bought it ourselves later so no big issue.
Biggest issue is noise.
You live right next to a busy street full of loud cars and the windows do almost nothing to isolate the noise. My partner and I had so much trouble falling asleep even with windows shut. I can’t believe that no other reviews mention this at all.
Unless you can sleep through loud music and cars that pump out neighborhood-shocking bass beats, you definitely want to avoid here.
Overall the location is great and host was responsive, but the value wasn't great given the level of cleanness, apartment condition, and noise. It didn't feel like an experience I'd recommend to others.
