I ended up canceling for a partial refund after staying only one night. It unfortunately was not what I was expecting based off the glowing reviews and great photos.
When I entered the apartment, the smell that was probably coming from the wall-to-wall carpeting was very musty. The place had a stuffy feel in the air that was amplified by the fact that it was also pretty hot. To alleviate this, I opened the windows and turned on the large floor fan that the host provided. Sadly, the fan didn’t do much to help cool the place. It still was too hot for me to be able to sleep.
The bed was also uncomfortable and the pillows were flat and sad. I tossed and turned trying to find a comfortable position, but to no avail.
I felt hot and exhausted the entire night and eventually had to close the windows at 6:30am because that’s when this loud drilling noise started coming in from outside the building. It was still easy to hear it even with the windows closed.
The hosts were nice though!
