I wanted to leave a 1 star rating because I wouldn't stay here again, but our stay was good except for the one major issue.
The good:
- Great location, less than 15 minutes to most major sites
- Close to the blue metro line, but super helpful really
- The host, Hans, is extremely responsive, one of the best hosts I've experienced
- The beds and bed linens are surprisingly comfortable
- Kitchen well stocked
- Has a washing machine
- So close to grocery stores and several cafes that are open early
The Bad:
- Limited hot water. This is the deal breaker for me. I enjoy a really hot shower but a quick one, I average 7 to 9 minutes with shampoo and conditioner. My family are all night showerers. After a long day of sightseeing, we value being able to wash the day off before going to bed. I traveled here with my 3 kids and after seeing the note about limited hot water, my first child was limited to a 5 min shower. The second took a stupidly short 45 second shower (boy, of course) and my third waited 30 minutes before getting in only to run out after a few minutes. In all, less than 10 minutes of water. Really disappointing but could he fixed with a tank less.
- What can not be fixed is the tiny bathroom. The shower and toilet area felt claustrophobic and I'm 5’3”, 130lbs.
- No dryer, but this is probably an incorrect expectation on my part so not a full mark in the Con side.
- So much construction and noise (this will end eventually)
