Decent stay for the value with some hiccups
The apartment is in a good location, close to lively bars and evening eateries, and close enough to shopping areas. It’s in a busy neighborhood, so streets can get crowded on weekend nights, but sound was not an issue inside. The check-in process was smooth—you unlock the building with your phone and use the apartment key from a lockbox. The host also provided a small welcome basket, which was a nice touch.
A few things to note: this is a basement unit with stairs and no elevator, despite the original listing stating it was on the ground floor. Something to keep in mind if you have trouble with stairs.
We experienced cold showers throughout our stay, which was frustrating. We were a group of 4, and only 1-2 people could get a hot shower before the water ran out. The hot water tank drains quickly, partially also due to a leaking shower head that wasted a lot of the hot water. The host advised us to split up shower times across morning and night, but that is inconvenient for a traveling group.
Additionally, while the apartment was mostly clean, we discovered that 2 comforters we were sleeping in were stained, which was not a great surprise. The host did replace them promptly the next day, which we appreciated.
Lastly, it can take a few tries to secure an Uber, and Bolt doesn’t pick up directly here, likely due to narrow streets and nighttime crowds loitering the streets.
Overall, it’s a decent stay if you enjoy a lively neighborhood, but there are a few issues to consider.
