Gut: Sauberkeit, Check-in, Kommunikation, Lage und Genauigkeit des Onlineauftritts
Overall okay
So overall this place is decent and the location is convenient, especially with a train station just down the block. There were a lot of little things that I didn't care for that despite my 5 star rating, would make me not very likely to stay here again. The good things: the ease of check in was nice. There were more than enough sleeping areas for all 5 of us. There were 1.5 baths, so the teens had room to get ready separately. There was a small selection of pots, pans, and basic dishes. The porch isn't much, but the kids enjoyed looking around, despite the lack of furniture and view. Lol. There were enough towels, bedding, complimentary toiletries, and a blow dryer in each bath (huge bonus with the dryers!). The beds were super soft - great for me, but the husband hated it.
The not so great: I was cold ALL the time in the main floor of the apartment, despite turning it up to 74°. I literally had to sit around in my outside jacket and covered in my blanket to be semi-warm. The loft area was comfortable, but not a good spot for us to all relax in. The lighting wasn't good in much of the apartment, especially over the table. It was hard to see in the dining area when it was dark out. (There were skylights and windows that are good during the day) I was the only one with bluetooth access to the building & apartment, so I either had to go with anyone who went back or left, or I had to give them my phone. And all my contact information for the hosts was on my phone, so if my phone has died or I had lost it, we would have had a huge problem.
Before all the fees I was quoted a price for my stay. After host & service fees (& tax), it came to an extra $110/night above the quoted price. At the price I paid I would have much preferred a hotel with daily breakfast & a pool. Especially since one of the host fees was an extra guest fee, even though we had less people than this apartment sleeps and is listed for. And we did all the requested cleaning things before we left.
And the last -which is good or bad, depending on the guest- was the level of communication was actually far more than I wanted or needed. There was nothing that I needed that could be done while we were there, so there was much more communication than I wanted. I felt obligated to respond while I was trying to drive down there and then enjoy my vacation.
So overall it wasn't anything huge, but definitely some important things that are helpful to know.
