We really enjoyed our stay in this cozy and comfortable apartment in Hyde Park. It is in a lovely neighborhood with restaurants and other conveniences nearby. Communication with the host was clear and prompt. We could not have asked for more.
Great place to stay. It was easy to settle in and relax after a long day of traveling. The bed was comfortable and great to sleep on. Will definitely try for this property again if I need to come to the area.
All was as described *except* the bed was very uncomfortable for two average size adults. It sagged in the middle so we kept waking to keep from rolling into each other, and it was very squeaky when one of us shifted. We did not sleep well at all as a result. A shame, bc otherwise it was clean and well located. We would not stay again.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear the unit was clean and well located, and that it matched the description overall.
We’re very sorry to hear that the bed did not provide a comfortable sleeping experience. We understand how important a good night’s rest is, and we appreciate you sharing this detail. Your comments have been noted and shared with our team for review so we can assess the mattress and frame condition.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. We appreciate your stay and your feedback as it helps us continue improving for future guests.
The apartment is very cold. I understand the building management control the heat, but only 2 of the 3 radiators work. The kitchen radiator valve is open but no heat. Once we found a space heater (stored in a closet) it got much better.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you were able to make the apartment more comfortable with the space heater, but we sincerely apologize that the heating did not work properly in all areas. While the building controls the main system, we understand that having only two of three radiators functioning made the apartment uncomfortably cold.
We’ve reported this issue to building management to ensure all radiators are fully operational, and we will continue providing space heaters to ensure guest comfort. Your feedback is very helpful in improving the experience for future guests.
