These hosts seem nice, so I wish I had better comments about my stay here.
The building's run-down. The apartment's not in great shape either.
I can cope with cosmetic things like closet doors hanging diagonally off their hinges, or clocks that don't work. I found it harder to deal with the cockroaches in the kitchen and the leaky sink that dripped incessantly.
More? Nuisances, but things a thoughtful host should spot. The can opener didn't work - I bought one. The chair at the tiny table near the kitchen? It broke. I re-inserted the part that came off.
The "gym" downstairs had four weights in total. The hallways smell like smoke. The public areas just look neglected and degraded.
I don't take any pleasure in writing uncomplimentary reviews, but I feel an obligation to other travelers to be honest. Thanks.
