Disliked: Cleanliness
We stayed here for a month. The location is great — just a short walk over the bridge to Kits — and the building has good amenities and lovely views, though there’s the daily 8 am construction noise.A few things to flag: check-in/out means a 15-minute walk to pick up and drop off keys. The flat wasn’t properly clean when we arrived — some pots and pans in the cupboards were dirty, and the bedding and towels were pretty worn. We ended up washing the pillows and duvets ourselves due to yellow stains and a greasy smell. The host kindly arranged for a follow-up cleaning but sadly it didn't help much (e.g the pots in the cupboard stayed dirty). The place is a bit tired overall (missing light shades/bulbs, some wobbly furniture, constant ventilation noise), and there’s a “no short-term rentals / VRBO not allowed” sign at the entrance. The kitchen is very well stocked, which is very handy, though it leaves little room for your own things.The main issue for us was the blackout blind in the bedroom shown in the listing photos — it stayed fully closed the whole month. A handyman couldn’t fix it as the system needs replacing, so we couldn’t use that room to enjoy the view. We also reshuffled plans for a couple of building visits (one never turned up), and communication, while polite, could be slow with long gaps after “I’ll check.”Overall, it’s a great spot and a handy base for Kits and Downtown, but a few issues made the stay more complicated than we’d hoped.
