The apartment was pleasant and clean and handy to the Metro. I like to sleep with a window open at night but as the only thing that could be opened to the balcony was a door, and the balcony was not only shared but easily accessed from the street, I felt uncomfortable leaving the door open. The shower was excellent but the legs of the bed seem expressly designed to hurt feet!The irritating aspect that unfortunately coloured my stay was the inability to easily communicate with the host on my primary device, the phone. I would open the email, click the link to âmessageâ and then it would skip to the STAYZ app, and then immediately from there to VRBO, and then the app would freeze. Which meant that if I needed to read a message I had to pull out the iPad, patch it into the phone hotspot and then go through the Stayz website. Not exactly convenient when travelling alone with luggage and trying to work out how to get in to the accommodation (I could find it on the map, but as there is no physical reception the getting in part was critical). I did request the host to communicate via WhatsApp, which would have made my life easier, but they declined to do so.
