Had I read the most recent reviews of this apartment, I probably would not have booked. While there were a few positives about this apartment: communication with James was great, the location, coffee pods, there were too many negative aspects that would prevent me from recommending this Airbnb or booking it again. The apartment is located in old Art Deco building which was nice but once you walked in, the lobby looked like it had never been renovated. The carpet was badly worn and lighting is terrible (does not give a great first impression). When I booked the apartment in July 2022 there was a note in the listed that stated the building was under renovation and the lobby carpets were going to be replaced, the carpets had not been replaced when I stayed there in November 2022.
The apartment is small but manageable for two people but the retro furniture is nice to look but is not very comfortable to use. However, the bathroom is very small and does not have a mirror in it. At the time of my stay, the bathroom light was broken and would not turn off. It would not have been a big deal but the door to the bathroom has windows in it (not very private while using the bathroom), so we slept with the bathroom light shining into the bedroom. The bathroom tiles needs to be grouted as it is very dirty.
The amenities mention a washer but note, there is no washer in the apartment but rather a laundry room in the building (from the looks of the lobby and building, I did not venture into the laundry room).
It was a very surprising Airbnb as when read the review and booked in July 2022 the reviews did not match the apartment. This has been my most disappoint Airbnb stay thus far. I would not book this apartment again.
