This VRBO proved to be disappointing. The first thing to note is there is no practical parking. The one parking lot that is advertised as available 24/7 is always filled and in fact is far from the apartment, so a long walk with luggage becomes necessary or finding a difficult to find apartment and double parking to unload. All of the above can be avoided if one arrives by taxi and has no car. So, if you are considering this apartment, take that in to account. We were unaware and therefore caught off guard in this regard.
The photos are lovely and the apartment could more closely approximate the photos with some more attention to maintenance and more attention to upkeep. For example, the bedroom is clean and fresh, but the curtains were filthy and tied at the bottom, presumably to mask the dirt. The nice touches with decor in the photos are either lacking over time, or moved around so much as to lose their positive effect. The patio needs all season upkeep to maintain some plantings, color, etc and needs to be freshend up regularly. The shower is smalll but workable but requies upkeep as well: the seal on the bottom of the shower doors have fallen off, are slick with mold and require attention to prevent water loss onto the floor. The shower would be easier to manuever in if a holder for shampoo etc, were to be attacked to the wall tile. Again the basics are here, but need to reflect some more thought about
upkeep, ease of use, cleanliness.
