The apartment looks just like in the pics - and it COULD actually be a great place. Unfortunately the place really needs some maintenance (!) and whoever is in charge of cleaning needs to be either trained or replaced . There was really disgusting stuff in the drawers of the master bedroom and in the kitchen. Communication with the host worked pretty well, especially because her husband, a real estate agent, is extremely nice and really tries to help solve problems. The place has VERY few glasses and dishes. Pots and pans: totally greasy and like really cheep stuff…no fun cooking with the existing equipment and almost impossible to find enough glasses to offer everyone sitting at the table a drink. What makes matters worse, instead of simply accepting our criticisms, the host was really very defensive about our feedback. In sum, if the apartment had been taken care of properly, so, if it were well kept ,which it really isn’t by anyone’s standards, it could have been a great place…
