The location is as good a it gets. The apartment itself is small but comfortable. We ate out most meals, so the fact that the kitchen was limited was not a problem (the fridge is full-size.). Please note that if you stay more than a few days you will need to buy soap - we were given one tiny bar which did not last the week.

OK for 1 or 2 nights
High noise level, especially from unit above. (Could very clearly hear someone pee….. yuk)Had trouble finding a property manager all the time. Manager at next door hotel (same owner) was extremely helpful - also staff at breakfast cafe.Cockroaches. Not even a broom for sweeping. No plug for kitchen sink. Electricity went off twice —- main switch above public sidewalk, unlocked. Only half the lights worked. Very unsafe electrical outlets ( mostly extension cords lying on the floor.

Shower head and sink water stopper
This is my second time here ,in January and back in July On both occasion two things i noticed, the shower head was broke, i had to place plastic around it so it will hold on the hook And the water stopper on the bathroom sink is full of mold The shower was not shower h
Enjoyed my stay . There were some minor problems which needed attending.For example, the hot plate would not get hot enough to boil water for steaming veggies.And the knob kept coming off.The removable shower head was held on with seran wrap so the head kept falling off in the middle of showering. The owner was informed.Otherwise a lovely experience. I would definitely rent there again.I pointed these issues out to the owner so
