Do not book this apartment as it is old and beat up. The photos do not reflect the actual apartment.
Despite bringing it up with AirBnB, I am not 100% convinced that the photos of the apartment are of this apartment as there are significant differences. These differences are not a renovation or update despite the claims of the owner. Nothing has been renovated or updated in this apartment.
Make no mistake, this apartment is old, beat up and not very clean. Everything has seen much better days. The staging makes is look much nicer than it actually is (if it is actually this apartment and not the one her mom lives in the building.) The furniture is old and in bad condition. The bed and mattress are terrible. The sheet and towels are cheap. The kitchen and bathroom are barely usable.
Suffice to say, this is one a star quality rental, at best.
