Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
The check in was nice, on time (first time during our trip someone was waiting for us), everything was communicated well. Apartment is in the nice area, close to good eating places, it’s on the third floor and has a loft with a very steep stairs which we knew about. Windows do not open, it’s not loud but neither is there a fresh air. A/c indicated that it worked but it did not blow anything. Last night internet (wifi) stopped working, contacted host and while next morning it was resolved - we had no connection on the day we planned a family con call due to the birthday of one of us - which was very slow with our eSIM and ate all our data. Host contacted us next morning and wifi worked again. Otherwise nice apartment.
