Pros -
1. Great location. Steps away from the subway and Andrássy Avenue. A grocery store was on the corner as well.
2. Spacious unit
3. Lovely property manager
Cons -
1. Check In - Right before we were to take possession of the unit, someone stole the lockbox. As a result, the owner decided to have the locks changed (smart) and to have a keyless entry system installed. Unfortunately, this was to take place during our stay. Our group was arriving at different times so it took significant rearrangement of our schedules to be able to hand over the one set of keys.
It took multiple phone calls and texts to set up a check in time. The owner refused to assist, instead directing me via text to go through his property manager. She had wanted me to meet her at her home to pick up the keys and I did not want to do that.
2. Cleanliness -
Again, this was another instance of timing. It should not be an issue for others.
Apparently the prior guests left all of their belongings in the unit (weird right?) so the cleaning person decided that it was too difficult to clean it. When the property manager and I met, she let me know what took place and proceeded to bag up all of their belongings and then do a cursory cleaning.
The bathroom in the unit had an issue with mold. I scrubbed the areas that I could reach and washed the shower curtains multiple times in order to alleviate the smell. I am overly sensitive to the smell of mold while my friends did not notice it, so it may not be an issue for you. The owner is aware of the problem and is investigating how to resolve it.
2. Check out process -
The property manager was out of town so we needed to physically hand over the keys to someone. This required scheduling a meeting time with a neighbor.
