Based on our experience, it's probably worth bringing it. But, obviously, I can't say for sure. Good luck with the decision!
And I hope I haven't steered you wrong. As you know, we liked it very much. But we're not fancy hotel kind of people. However, judging by your trip reports, I suspect you tend to travel similarly to the way we do. So I hope you'll enjoy it too. I'll be anxious to hear what you think.

I just followed your link and read the reviews. I notice that the one person who stayed there after we did was very unhappy about things having not been fixed. As I mentioned in my TR, for the most part, the things we noticed were pretty minor. The washing machine door was a real aggravation but the Habitat woman mentioned it to me right away. And I still managed to do quite a bit of laundry while we were there!
However, I would suggest that, while the Habitat person is still there, you make sure that the "grate" that comes down over the sliding glass doors to the balcony is working properly and that <i>you</i> don't have any problem closing it. The woman from Habitat opened and closed it while she was there. But we were never able to close it after that. Not a huge deal on the fourth floor, but still....

CAPH52, no, not at all! I am not keen on the idea of spending a whole week in an apt with no outside window in the living room. I wouldn't mind that if it were for a few days, but not for a whole week.
And you got that right, I'm not a fussy/luxury person. I'd rather go on another trip than spend $$$ on a luxury apartment.
BTW, I probably will have more specific Qs about the Sots 3 apartment for you. Would you mind if I email you with those Qs? I'd rather do that than bore the rest of Fodorites here. My email is yk fodors at hotmail - no space between yk and fodors.
