The Heart of Newington

Host was very accommodating with letting us arrive early after a long overnight flight. We lounged in the living room while he finished his cleaning. It was very appreciated as we were exhausted. Apartment is huge with lots of windows looking out over the street. Lots of room for our group of five. Kitchen was incredibly equipped with lots of glasses, plates, etc. and lots of condiments left by previous guests. Bathrooms had toiletries left by guests, so not provided by host as assumed they would be, but they appeared clean and nice quality so we used them. Beds were comfy, towels were decent although limited in quantity. Large living room with 3 couches worked well for our group of five. Two bedrooms were ensuite, the third had a separate shower room and separate toilet room across from it through a central foyer within the apt. so that wasn't private. Bathrooms were clean and bright but had elevated baths with no shower bars or bath mats so could be tricky for some. Water pressure and hot water was abundant.

Entry into the building was terrible. It was dirty, poorly lit and required a very long set of stairs to get to the first floor (closer to 1 1/2 stories high). There were building materials scattered in odd places, old bicycles and a lack of lighting making it off putting at night. Through the front gate was a small set of steps and a landing before the front door to the building. A dog or person left a large pile of excrement in the corner next to the door and it stayed there for two days of our stay and was there when we left. No one is managing the entryway or stairwells and it shows. The area has some homeless folks and this is likely why this mess was made as I can't imagine anyone walking their dog into this tiny entry area. Neighborhood is busy, full of commuters and students and businesses are okay, nothing special, mostly catering to college crowd. The furniture is dated (10-15 yrs. old) and the couches weren't soft to the touch.

Cómodo, limpio, bonito. Buena ubicación.

Wiffi muy pobre.
