There were some things we loved, and some things that were frustrating about this Airbnb.
The pros:
- Location is perfect! We walked everywhere we wanted to go, the neighbourhood was very quiet, transit available nearby. Restaurants and shops were close by.
- The decor is beautiful, with marble showers and good lighting. Very spacious, too.
- Beds were were wonderfully comfortable and bedding was fresh and clean.
- WiFi worked well throughout the apartment.
- Kitchen was fairly well equipped.
- Dishwasher and hairdryer were good quality.
The cons:
- We had zero communication during check in, which complicated things. The unit # was not included in the listing or the instructions we were sent, so we just tried each door until one opened (unit # 3). Communication improved the next day, but stopped again when we had questions about checkout (and where to dispose of garbage).
- The rules about late check in costing extra make no sense, as there was no staff there to greet us or let us in.
- We looked all the way up and down the street and courtyard to find somewhere to deposit our garbage at the end of our stay, but found nothing.
- One of the couches had some gross looking stains
- The washer is locked out on the little patio but getting out to it was almost impossible as the bolt locking the gate is rusted. There was also a musty odor in the laundry area.
- We all experienced respiratory symptoms (congestion, cough, sneezing) whenever the AC was on. These symptoms subsided as soon as we left the apartment.
- The terrace is lovely, but devoid of furniture or shade.
