NO FINE PRINTS: I was a bit surprised by what I was told as house rules - that we must clean the KITCHEN, and take out all the TRASH to the street when we leave. We kept everything tidy, but these were not stated anywhere when I booked the apartment.
SOFA: The apartment was generally very pleasant except for the sofa. There is a cloth covering it, and looking closer the surface of the sofa was all FLAKY. The cloth covering it did not appear clean either, nor does it wrap tightly. Therefore, each time you sit, you need to adjust it so that you don’t end up covered with flakes of faux leather on you.
CLEANLINESS: Other than the sofa, the whole place appeared clean. That said, when we tried to use the washer, we found several leftover wet towels in the machine! Someone washed, then left them there for who knows how long. When we messaged the property about this, they DID NOT reply. Another issue is hallway cleanliness (see below).
ELEVATOR & HALLWAY: Expect a very tight squeeze the elevator or hallway. The capacity is 2 people in the elevator. This would all be fine except that on day 3-5 of our stay, two large black plastic bags (one filled with used sheets, and the other I did not want to look into) appeared in the already tight hallway and right in front of our side of the apartment. Again, I messaged the property through hotels.com and got NO RESPONSE.
LACK COMMUNICATION: Tried to let them know we needed taxi to airport early. NO RESPONSE WHATSOEVER!
