Unfortunately I didn’t find this place terribly charming and am not sure why it got such great reviews. The location is convenient but that’s where it ends.
The apartment complex itself is old and is starting to look like low income housing. The walls and pipes creak all night, it takes 10 minutes for water to get hot in the kitchen (I timed it), and the only way to do laundry is to have rolls and rolls of quarters for the paid laundromat.
The apartment itself is decorated without care. The colorful rug from the pictures was missing in real life and everything in the interior was grey, black and (some) white. There were (6) fake orchids in this relatively small place. At the same time, there wasn’t one single plant growing in the backyard. Instead, the backyard had old rusty shelves in it. Grey art on the walls; wires hanging down from the TV in the bedroom; strangely placed IKEA furniture, like (1) tiny white nightstand in a fairly large bedroom.
The setup also showed a lack of care for the guests. No shower rug; no starter kit with shampoo and conditioner; no way to do your first laundry unless you brought rolls of quarters and laundry detergent.
I also kept discovering dirty things left here and there - a dirty oven mitt, dirty measuring cups, dirty towels, etc.
The hosting crew was efficient and responded quickly but spammed everyone with aggressive messages at midnight about someone parking in the wrong spot (not me).
All in all, if you are after the convenient location in proximity to big high tech companies and don’t need a “home away from home”, this place will work just fine. But if you have been spoiled by the unique and cozy little places on Airbnb throughout the world, this place will disappoint.
