I stayed in this apartment from August to December, and while I enjoyed the stay there are were some issues I encountered. 1. Incorrect Door Codes Provided-The door code I was given to enter the building was incorrect. I overheard other customers experiencing this same issue when it came to trying to get into their apartment units2. No hot water-First week I was there I did not have hot water for a bit because the people working in one of he lower units forgot to turn it back on3. Wi-Fi-During the last 2 weeks of my stay the wi-fi network stoped working. I let the host know about it and while I was told that they would look into the issue, I never got wi-fi again.

Rough start, good finish
There was a snafu when we first got to the apartment. The cleaning crew never showed and the property owner wasn't aware. As soon as they were made aware of the issue, it was quickly remedied.
The apartment is small but served our needs.
We all slept well and the beds were comfortable.
