Even though I left a 4-star review, it doesn’t mean the house is not perfect. This house is super awesome for any traveler comes to visit the city.
It has everything you could think of a home. A home has lots of personal touch. The location is perfect, literally, it's 5 mins walking distance to the train station.
The only reason to give a 4 star, I would like to have guests to read through my review towards the end.
As we are new to the city, we did not pay close attention to the sign posted downstairs, even though we walked by the sign every day.
"The main door would be locked after 10pm". That means you need to have a key to unlock it and get out.
On our day leaving, we are in the rush to catch the 5:05am train. At 4:45am, we left the apartment and per instruction, we left two sets of keys inside the apartment. Only then, when we try to get out the main door, we found that we were trapped inside the main door. We tried everything, desperately, we could in the next 10 mins, sending the text messages to the host, knocking on neighbors’ door, etc. Luckily, we found that there is a window on the top of gate with some sticking bar. So, we( 3 people) managed to climb out from the tiny window, one after the other, with the carry-on luggage. Then we ran to the train station at the full speed, and got on the train in the last second.
So the lessons learned, always share your itinerary with the host, so the host might warn us for the situation. So we would get down first to unlock the main door, then surrender the keys.
Luckily, we did not have the huge luggage, so travel light is always giving you some flexibility.
And be slim, and nimble, you can then climb out and pass through very limited space.
Exercise more often, so you can run fast when you need to.
Having said that, I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to have close touch with the city.
