I wanted to give a better review as the host was responsive, however our stay was fraught with issues and rather unpleasant due to the circumstances. We arrived during a record breaking heatwave, which made an apartment without air conditioning uncomfortable. There were fans, but we had to be in front of them constantly to cool down just a bit. Any movement or doing simple tasks away from the fan would make you feel uncomfortably hot and sticky. Then mid stay, the power went out twice on us. My daughter was so panicked at the thought of no power, lights or fans, that I ended up booking two nights at an air conditioned hotel so that we could cool down. So we ended up double booking rooms and spending way more than intended. We also used the washer with the pods made available and possibly because of the intense heat, the pods were compromised and they ruined our undergarments and my daughter’s favorite pants with blue stains we could not get out.
As for the greeter on arrival, she did not speak English and she was very rushed with us. She didn’t show us much of anything. She was heavily perspiring, which I took to mean she had been cleaning before our arrival and was so hot she wanted to get away asap. We had issues figuring stuff out and her explaining it would have helped. As we had trouble figuring out how to use all the doors in the building. The location is perfect, as it is close to everything. But for us, the heatwave was intolerable and ruined our stay in many ways,
