The apartment is just as it looks in the photos — small but functional! Some thoughts below:
1- Checkin: The host was very gracious to let us check in early! The instructions for getting the keys were clear. Note that if you are an American, 1st floor doesn’t mean ground floor - it’s 1 level up.
The apartment was missing towels and soap (not the host’s fault), but the electricity was also off w/o instructions for how to turn it on. Host responded within an hour to help with both.
2- There is only enough hot water for very quick showers. If 2 people are staying, shower at different times, or only take 5 mins. Not sure if this is normal - we didn’t hear back when we asked about it.
3- We had an abnormal experience with an aggressive homeless person one day at the front of the building. It got scary so we asked for the host’s help to resolve it and the responses were slow (20 mins between) and not proactive. It made us feel unsafe our last day.
4- Location is very good and walkable.
