First impressions were not good, but as time went by we started to appreciate it more. The location is pretty good for public transport to the city center. If you can forgive a rickety table and ill-fitting cabinets it really provided everything that we needed for our stay.
Host was very accommodating and was great with helping us resolve the issues we had with check in and reservations. Would definitely book this location again.
Amazing location but very expensive and tired-looking
We had a lot of highs and lows with this accommodation.The check in process was a little awkward. Through no fault of the host, the owners had changed the lock on the mailbox (where the keys were kept) but the owners had not provided the hosts with the new keys. The host managed to meet up with us to give us our keys, which was serendipitous rather than the result of good planning.Communication with the hosts was awkward. There are two hosts working on behalf of the owner - one is overseas and the other is looking after many other apartments. They were always very rushed and usually pretty annoyed with my attempts to ask questions. We were also under the impression that there would be suitable street parking nearby, as indicated on the listing. The street parking, however, is all 1 or 2 hour maximums - and the host was fully aware of this. This needs to be explicitly stated on the listing. We managed to avoid a fine but were extremely stressed about it for our entire 12 day stay.The unit itself is very nice but is also in need of some repairs. The kitchen cupboards are flat out awful. They are all misaligned and poorly designed, and need replacing immediately.The doors that open out to the little garden are great, but they do not have blinds, and the neighbours can see straight into the main living area every single day. The doors would also benefit from screens as there are a lot of mosquitos that come into the apartment if the doors are left open.
Absolutely fantastic apartment, conveniently located, and well appointed. However, after 4pm check in there was an issue with apartment not being cleaned, beds stripped and dirty linen left on floors bathrooms and oven not cleaned. Cleaner was sent in to address issue within 2 hours, but was not a good start.
