Karina was a great host and very responsive to messages. We did however have three problems with the airbnb.
The first is that it felt like it was run like a business, it didn’t feel like a place that people would actually live in. This beautiful apartment had been converted into a sort of hotel by building additional partitions and doors. So the original doors between rooms had been locked shut, while we entered our room through a modern door that had been carved into the wall. The bed was comfortable, but the furniture and fittings are very sparse and lack personality. We found this a bit sad.
The second is that during our visit in the summer, with the sun hitting the room throughout the day, the room was boiling. Opening the windows at night was impossible because of the intolerable traffic noise outside. In the winter, this would be OK, the double-glazing is very effective at keeping out the noise. We found a fan in the hallway, which helped a little bit.
Lastly, while our room was very clean, the shared bathroom wasn’t completely clean, with some hair on surfaces, and the bathroom rug seemed never to have a chance to dry out.
