It’s a neat and tidy underground apartment converted from a lovely older house that has been made into multiple units that appear to all be managed as short term accommodation.
Other guests kept to themselves and were respectful.
The location is great! There are a couple bars with live music within a half block or so and easy walking distance to the nearest convenience store.
The apartment has some natural light and fresh air available via the bedroom windows but next time at this price I will be opting for a place that has more light and access to a bit more greenery outdoors.
Some of the fixtures and one of the three air conditioning units needs updating, although the host did make available a portable air purifier and evaporative air conditioner which helped.
We loved the fact there are modern tvs with full access to Netflix and other streaming services in each room as well as in the lounge, that there were two full bathrooms, and that the laundry room down the hall is available for guests to use.
The internet was fine for working remotely and getting in the occasional zoom meeting or FaceTime chat.
Aaron was a very responsive host and communicated a delayed check in as best as he could have managed.
There was a bit of a hiccup with the cleaners running behind due to a key issue. The cleaners were adamant that we couldn’t be in the apartment while they cleaned and were very upset with us - but thankfully cleaned around us - when we politely refused and sat quietly in the lounge while they finished cleaning, given the long day we’d already had and the fact my young daughter was sleeping and needed a place to lay down out of the heat.
I’ve given it a three star out of five experience - it was good for what it was but could have been really great if we had experienced a better welcome.
