Overall, the apartment was more than a few years past its best and definitely not worth the money we paid ($600+ a night). I would not recommend this apartment or rent anything overseen by iFlat, the ‘management’ company, again.
Positives:
• Location: Monti is an excellent area to stay in. Great restaurants, interesting back streets, good food stores and convenient subway stops.
• The murals on the apt ceilings of the were a nice surprise.
Negatives:
• The main rooftop patio furniture was broken and unusable. The cushions were ripped, and all the wicker seats broken - these seats could not be used at all during our stay. Iflat tried blaming it on the prior tenants but it was obvious that this damage had been there for a while. Further, iFlat made no effort to either fix or replace the rooftop furniture during our stay. The rooftop patio was a major reason we paid a premium for this apartment.
• The apartment had obviously not been painted for years and the main bathroom wall needs some repairs. This just gave the apartment a dirty feel about it.
• The beds appeared to be made of a hard foam material and were uncomfortable. The bedding and towels have also seen much better days and should be better at this price point.
• The roof top patio was having work being done that we had not been informed about. The sprinkler system for the potted plants was laid out all over the patio throughout our stay. Further, workers showed up at 8am Monday to work on the patio brickwork!
