Pros
The apartment is on a beautiful street in a great neighborhood. It is well furnished. Check-in and out was seamless.
Cons
It was the most impersonal and unwelcoming of all of our AirBnB experiences - but that may not bother some people. The only communication we received after our reservation request and message was sent was a message with the house rules (of which there are many - which is fine, but they are not countered with any welcoming messages. Therefore, we just felt like we were encroaching on someone's beloved space and needed to be quiet while there), copied and pasted (without even addressing our names), and a "how is everything?" after we checked in.
It lacked some basics, like hand soap and tissues, and needed a good dusting and deep clean. Lots of dog hair. Internet signal was very weak. We had to use our mobile hot-spots and weren't able to watch TV via the Apple TV without it being interrupted / signal cutting out.
The apartment is above another, and the house is large and old, so sound really does carry through walls and vents. We felt so anxious the whole time about disturbing the downstairs occupants (was it the host? was it tenants? other airBnB guests? We didn't know - his profile/listing and signs in the apartment say conflicting things.), because the sound carries so much. So keep that in mind. We weren't able to enjoy the outside area, as it was under construction (which was shared with us after we had booked ).
Overall: Form over function. It was beautiful, but lacked so many important things.
