This apartment is great value for the price! If you are used to fancy hotels, this is not the place for you! This apartment is very no-frills without many finishing touches, but it has everything you need and the balcony is amazing. The host was very easy to work with. Check-in and check-out were simple and easy, and he even left a card and some snacks. Very nice!
The apartment would be much more comfortable with some small additions, like new pillows and screens for the balcony doors. Although the host has no control over this, please note that the building hallway has a very strong smell of cat urine. The apartment itself smells fine, but the hallway smell is overwhelming. If you are sensitive to smells, this rental is probably not for you.
Overall, if you're a budget traveler looking for a decent place to stay at a great place, this is an awesome option!
