Great location. Hedyeh was very responsive in her communication.
I was a long-term guest for several weeks while I worked remotely, and felt that the room/house is more suitable for tourists coming to the city for a few days to sightsee.
The apartment is fairly clean but doesn’t have a very at-home feeling. The area of the house to where I had access was quite dark with no direct sunlight.
- There were some issues with the WiFi. There were many occasions when the network completely dropped for close to 10 minutes or the speed significantly dropped. It happened once or twice during the beginning of my stay but progressed to worsen to the point that it started affecting my work. Hedyeh was responsive in resolving this issue but it was definitely frustrating as I often have meetings with clients.
- The kitchen is quite well equipped. It is managed like a hostel, where it is shared by several other Airbnb guests staying in the house, so if you use it you are expected to clean up straight away. But, when you have 4-5 ppl all using the kitchen it gets quite dirty quickly and the management of the cleaning wasn’t made clear to all of the guests on arrival. (E.g what to do with the rubbish bags when it fills, managing who out of the guests is responsible for it) Having stayed in the room right in front of the kitchen, this probably bothered me a little more than guests staying on other floors.
- The walls are pretty thin so you’ll hear pretty much anyone talking in the next room, in the kitchen/dining, and outside on the street. Sometimes I had business calls early in the morning so I felt quite bad for my housemate next to me.
As mentioned, definitely recommend this house for those passing through the city for a few days to see the sights, but not really a space you can make yourself feel at home.
