Not a 'Luxury' Apartment
Our family of 5 had a recent 4 night stay. Starting off with the good, the OJ, milk, fresh bread and butter were thoughtful and much appreciated.
Most of the property was clean when it came to kitchen and bathroom surfaces. However, overall the place was rundown. The carpet was very dirty and the paint on the floorboards was worn away, paint was peeling, and a portion of the ceramic floor tiles were missing in the bathroom. The light fixture in the 2nd bath was missing the globe, leaving exposed bulbs. The same fixture used a pull to turn on and off. Unfortunately, the pull, a soft, stuffed novelty item, was very dirty and completely unappealing considering that the grunge had accumulated in a bathroom; no telling what germs lied within.
There are issues with the heating system. The two thermostats did not work. Owner said to control boiler manually, setting it to either on or off. The only two radiators that work are on the lower level. Therefore, the lower level needs to get uncomfortably warm for the heat to rise to levels 2 and 3.
On another note, the bedrooms weren't really set up for guests. There was next to no area to store unpacked clothing but no spots to open your suitcase other than the floor. Although there were some drawers, they were filled with the owners belongings.
The neighborhood lacks charm and is pretty rough just a few blocks away. On the plus side, Underground and bus stops are convenient.
To summarize, this is not a ‘luxury’ apartment.
