The apartment has a great view and a convenient location. The space itself was comfortable and met our needs during our stay.
However, the overall experience felt more restrictive than welcoming. There were numerous reminders and rules throughout the stay, including multiple messages before check-out regarding cleaning, utility usage, garbage disposal, departure procedures, and even reminders to remain silent when leaving the building. We were told that if the utility bill was high, we could be charged for AC usage, and if the place wasn't left tidy enough, there could also be additional fees.
While we understand the importance of respecting the property and neighbors, the constant reminders made us feel as though we were walking on eggshells rather than relaxing on vacation.
We are respectful and responsible travelers and always take care of the places we stay. The repeated emphasis on rules, potential charge, and departure instructions created the impression that guests are viewed with caution rather than trust. It felt as though previous negative experiences may have influenced the host's approach, but unfortunately that atmosphere carried over to our stay.
Overall, the property's view and location are definite strengths, but the host communication style made the experience feel less comfortable and hospitable than it could have been.
Travelers who prefer a more carefree experience, a hotel may be a better option, where amenities like air conditioning are included.
