Overall, our group of 15 people had a great stay in this rental! Here are a few pros and cons (all are mentioned in the description if you read carefully, but we think its worth calling out!) Please note that the cons did not diminish our overall rating and enjoyment of the apartment! Just sharing to be helpful or planning purposes for future groups.
Pros:
conveniently located - excellent proximity to metro, dining, grocery, bakery, activities, etc.
large enough for our whole group as advertised
Cons:
funky layout does mean that you are walking through rooms to get to other rooms.
One bathroom on ground floor to be shared by all (but importantly up to 6 people overnight!)
Living room furniture a bit uncomfortable and could not fit everyone at once
Dining table does technically fit 16, but 14 would be much more comfortable! And so little counter space that you really don't have room for a large elaborate meal
There was a moldy plate in the dishwasher - we just washed it without fuss, but it would be a good place for the cleaners to look
Clearer directions or improved laundry facilities. Laundry would not dry, even with emptied lint trap, water collection, etc.
For any of these fixable issues (dishes, laundry, etc), I am sure the host would have been receptive if we had asked!
Thanks for a great stay!
