  Avoid Olivia Apartments

  What a terrible experience. The property requires an access code to enter the rooms and I didn't receive the access code for my first night. I spent more than 2 hours with hotels.com support while they tried to contact the property to get me into the room. I also tried contacting the property myself but they did not answer. I did get into the property the next day but it left a sour taste in my mouth. Worst of all, I contacted hotels.com for a refund and they said they cannot do it because the property has a cancellation policy that doesn't provide refunds. I say avoid this property. There aren't too many bigger failures for a hotel than a guest not being able to gain entrance to the room they paid for.

  This was such a charming apartment, high ceilings, lots of windows, very clean and well-furnished. The location was perfect for us with access to the metro and buses but also walkable to lots of attractions. The checkin instructions were clear and the staff were very helpful. They provided space to store luggage on our checkout day. I would definitely stay here again.

  Under new management

  Despite my reaching out via message and email beforehand, the new management did not contact me beforehand with the entry code or any other information other than a demand to pay double city tax. I had to make multiple phone calls while traveling from the airport to the property, pay a last minute previously undisclosed deposit, and fill out a bunch of online forms before I was able to gain access to the property. My deposit still hasn't been released, nor has the city tax issue been resolved. The property itself is fine, it's well located and was clean. There is a lot of noise from the street and other guests, and a couple of serious trip hazards, including two unmarked steps down to the bathroom from the corner of the bedroom. I was also a little wary of security in the building. When I finally did get the entry codes at very last minute, the room code was the same as the front door code, and was very generic. It didn't appear to be the type of system with multiple codes for different guests, so hopefully they do actually change them and have different codes for different rooms. There are tons of similar properties on the same street, I would look into staying at one of those for now, at least until the new owners get their act together.

  Lots of confusion around the booking due to a recent change in management, which made the checkin process very very stressful. Otherwise, the property is very nice and close to the metro and restaurants.
