Esperamos una hora para entrar. El código se desprograma.
Pros:

Si vas a Harvard, la ubicación es excelente.
Los cuartos están bien para simplemente dormir.

Cons:

El código se desprograma y no responden al teléfono. Esperamos casi 1 hora afuera hasta que otro huésped salió de la casa. No hay personal, no hacen el aseo. No hay soporte. El baño "pegosteoso". Pareciera un hotel manejado por una IA. Solo había una señora enojada limpiando áreas comunes.

Loved the look of the place; did not like the lack of service.
Pros:

The room was charming. I loved the room.

Cons:

The lack of staff. If I had wanted to stay in an airbnb I could have done that but I thought there would be just a little more service. If the coffee machine runs out of water, I have to replace it?
