Lacking amenities but in a good location
This is a very minimal rental, so don't expect even basic amenities.
There were two empty soap dispensers, but no hand soap, body soap, shampoo or conditioner; no wash cloths or a bath mat. No towel hooks or anywhere to hang wet towels.
I was expecting a sufficiently stocked kitchen, but there was only one drinking glass (with a chip in it), one dirty baking sheet, and one pot. Dish towels, paper towels, an oven mitt, and bottle opener were all notably absent. Also the fridge is very small and does not contain a freezer.
Additionally the thermostat is set to a locked temperature and the room is incredibly warm. Opening the windows helps, but without a fan there was very little air circulation.
I also had issues with room entry. The day before my departure I returned and found that the key code no longer worked. I had to call (and spend a fair amount of $ on international calling rates) to request a new code - apparently they made a mistake on the date of my checkout, so that is something that you might want to confirm ahead of time to make sure you don't end up locked out of the apartment.
It was quite loud (music, bass vibrating walls) until midnight, but I guess they must have a noise ordinance or something because it was suddenly quite around 12:01.
All of that said, the building is nice, the location is great, and there is a grocery store within walking distance so you can pick up all of the things that are not provided at the apartment
