The only great thing about this apartment was the location - it is very close to everything.
However, the smell of this apartment was terrible. It smelt of sewage that we suspect was coming from the shower drain. We needed to leave the balcony door open a lot of the time to air it out. Also, the neighbours are avid smokers which did not make leaving the door open to air the smell of the apartment out any easier. I told the host about it and she said that she was not sure what it was and that the maintenance could not check it out as they did not reply to her.
The place was not sufficiently cleaned - the dish sponge was still wet and had hairs on it, and there was a used bandaid on the kitchen bench when we arrived. There was also dust through the rug which triggered my friend's allergies for the whole 4 days. There was also not enough washing powder for more than one load of washing.
The apartment on top of us emptied the boiling water from their 2-minute noodles over their balcony and it went everywhere on our balcony. The neighbours next to us smoked and cigarettes and ash was found everyday on our balcony floor.
