"Luxurious" is not at all how I'd described this place. When we arrived in the neighborhood, there was garbage everywhere, like a garbage truck had exploded. There was as guy doing heroin outside the apartment. Neither of these are the hosts fault, but are still an important factor for potential guests. The apartment is not as described. It's more a sad bachelor pad of questionable cleanliness. The whole place seems like it was furnished with family hand-me-downs or 1 euro clearance rack items. The bathroom was gross and dirty. The shower grout was brown. The towels were old, rough and stiff. The floor had weird, splotchy strains, like it wasn't been cleaned. There was dust all over the place. The apartment was clearly not cleaned before our arrival. I question when it was cleaned last at all. The water dispenser in the fridge doesn't work, but the kitchen is otherwise functional. There was a dirty cooking sheet in the oven, though. The bed was a cot. The loft was full of random stuff and there was a ladder in the bedroom (behind the door) for some reason. Why was there all this random junk stored here? The sheets did not look clean. Lucky we found some other sheets that seemed cleaned. I'm the morning, we debated canceling the reservation because of all the issues, but decided to shower first before we made a decision. Then we found out that there was no hot water. The host did troubleshoot with us for about 30 minutes, but we still couldn't get hot water. He offered to call someone to check out the water situation, but frankly, it was the straw that broke the camel's back. We couldn't stay with the apartment in such a condition. We canceled the reservation entirely and went to a hotel.
