Based on all reviews, everyone loves the location, place & was very much aligned with what they read vs received. We did find some misleading information on the posting, which caused us to have different expectations. Few points below.
1. Posting description says 1910. This means, that it is a 1910 built mansion, which is 111 years old and hence the one should expect the older structure & internals. There are some renovations done on house, but one can see some mismatch (modern vs antique). Appliances are connected to different outlets with extension cords running behind furniture.
2. Posting says "Penthouse" or "Apartment". It is actually the third floor of the 8K sq. feet house having an external entry.
3. When we booked the "Penthouse" it said 2 bedROOM & 1.5 bath, which works on the search result. The 0.5 bath was outside the "Penthouse" and the owner did change the posting. We did need to read the details, where it mentions there is only 1 bedroom and another bed with the screen.
4. Kitchenette is what is written in the description. Few tables with some kitchen appliances in the corner of "Penthouse". A camping stove is provided (no vent) & the sink is kind of away.
5. Since it's the third floor of the house, you will notice stairs going down and blocked with some partition. It can get noisy depending upon who is living downstairs. Old construction, not much noise insulation.
6. Over-saturated pictures on the posting. As of June 2021, there were no curtains on any windows. Not all windows can open or close properly. No net on the windows, so cannot keep it open (bugs or child safety). Results in no ventilation on the third floor.
7. We did expect enhanced cleaning, which was not the case, and shared pictures with the owner. The bathroom was not draining well.
If you compare it with a hotel room, it's great. However, it does not match the Penthouse expectations.
Definitely good views from the turret. It was fun to see cargo trains going over the bridge and bridge raising. Once, you know the details and go with the right expectations, it will be enjoyed better.
