First off, the main appeal of this place was location and it did not disappoint. Not only are you right in the middle of downtown and walking distance to practically everything, the 30th story unit offers a jaw dropping view, day and night, of the beautiful city. I loved watching the snow fall early in the morning and the buildings light up at night.
Check in was a bit complicated but we were able to figure it out after a lot of elevator-taking. The first thing we noticed was the unit was very warm, uncomfortable for us, and we had to turn the heating unit off for our whole stay and leave the window open constantly.
As others have said, the place is sparsely furnished but offers the necessities. I would have liked a bigger dining table, since we cooked and ate most of our meals at the unit, but thats being pretty nitpicky. As far as the kitchen goes, it really only offered coffee and tea fixings and one 1/4 full bottle of olive oil I’m sure left by a former guest. So bringing all your own food is essential, kind of annoying to grocery shop for things like half and half and vegetable oil for a short trip. It did have a decent amount of utensils, but beware of the teflon scraping off on almost all of the pans they offer.
Something pretty important to note, the host seems unable to provide requests at certain times, maybe on certain days. They gave us 2 single ply toilet paper rolls for 2 people over 4 days, doable but a stretch. I asked on Sunday around 4:30 if there was a place I could pick up more or have some delivered, and they said they couldnt get any to us that evening. We left on Monday so I didnt bother trying again.
The TV offered ample entertainment, the bed was comfy (and high thread count sheets, woohoo!), the bathroom clean enough to take a bath in, and the place overall gave us what we needed. It was a great home-base for me and my partner while we explored the beautiful city and surrounding areas!
