Visit the Beach from a Historic Downtown Apartment - NRP21-00092

Nice spacious living room, 10 min walk from metro and 20 min walk from expo center.

It's not a big issue but the kitchen doesn't have the vent or a door, so when you cook all the smell and smoke spread all over the house

This is one of my favorite places I have stayed at on Booking.com. This apartment was huge and a great price. I loved the vanity in the bathroom, my boyfriend loved the bidet, and we had a lovely time celebrating my birthday there. It was stocked with coffee and creamer, energy bars, and popcorn. I loved being able to cook in a full kitchen with all the amenities and spices and cooking oils. The laundry room even had detergent, fabric softener, and bleach. There were extra linens of every variety. It even had a little office with a really nice computer with a selfie light and professional microphone and a green curtain like a green screen for filming videos or making business calls. I loved everything about this place and got it for a great deal.

The only thing I can think of is that they forgot to email me the code for the front gate, but all I had to do is text the emergency contact my issue and he responded almost immediately with the info I needed.

For us the location was perfect. We were visiting my daughter who lived across the street. We were lucky and could use her garage until the last night so parking wasn't a problem. The air conditioning was good and the kitchen was stocked with essentials.

The only thing that was a bother was the parking garage was so far away. We were lucky that we could use my daughters place to park for all the nights except the last night. The steps up to get to the apartment were sort of narrow and a little difficult for my husband, don't rent if you use a walker or wheelchair.

Whoever decorated the living room and bedroom did a great job of making this apartment look deceivingly inviting.

The area is not an area you want to be in during the day let alone at night. There was a homeless lady across the street who clearly is there daily. She was "fishing" with a pole but no water or fish in sight. As we were trying to make our way out of the area, my husband saw a guy literally smoking meth standing on the corner. The inside of the apartment smells like pets, old building, and something they used to try to cover both smells. There was a car vent air freshener hanging in the bathroom. The instructions I got via email on the day of our arrival asked us to take our shoes off when we came in. I don't even walk barefoot in my own house and certainly wouldn't walk barefoot on that floor. There's no sleeping allowed on the couch that I wouldn't sit on because it didn't look clean up close or comfortable. Additionally, we were told that parking can be tough to find but that the parking structure only takes a SEVEN minute walk to the apartment. My husband and I could not stay there. We left and lost the entire amount of our 6 night rental.

How inclusive it was in every aspect! An amazing place with special touches everywhere. They took the time to provide absolutely anything and everything you could ask for in a home! Every kitchen gadget, plenty of extra linens, pillows, I could go on and on about this special find!

Parking was difficult due to my late evening arrival.

The Murphy bed and layout were really well thought out, made great use of the space. The office setup was a huge plus and I used it constantly. Overall a very functional, comfortable apartment.

WiFi was on the slower side, which was occasionally frustrating. Minor issue overall but worth flagging.

nothing could have been better.

It was an apartment ready to be felt like home during our holiday. Big size rooms, bright throughout the day and air conditioned, all supplies provided by hosts to have the most easy day at home. The cot provided for my child was excellent, the kitchen has so many accessories to make meals at home a real pleasure. Check in process easy. Parking provided by hosts and no problems at all to access the multi storey car park a few minutes walking from the property. Parking cAn be on street, but depending on availability and day of the week. Enjoyed lots of walks in the neighbourhood. Amenities at short walking distance. Laundry room well kept and organised (it helped a lot not going to laundromats and wash and dry in the apartment our clothes). So much attention to details that can't be all described.

Charming place, very spacious!
