The apartment was cleaned well, but it smelled very strong of cigarettes and perfume. There were air fresheners everywhere and smelled like it had been heavily smoked in, could be the neighbor below that smokes and the smell might go up through the apartment, not sure. I am very sensitive to fragrance and smells so it was difficult to adjust to and also soaked in to all my clothes and luggage. We aired out the place and kept windows open, it helped a little bit. And even though I had washed everything the day before we left to go home, a week later and they still smelled of the cigarettes and perfume from the apartment. Also parking was very difficult as we weren't allowed to park on the side that the apartment was on, and across the street was almost always full.
The host was nice and responsive. The apartment outside of the above mentioned smell was a nice place. The neighborhood is a little on the sketchy side, but we didn't have any issues. Overall the stay was fine, host was pleasant and apartment was nice. Just the above mentioned threw it off a bit for us.
