The experience was a bit mixed overall.
Pros: Great communication (speedy and friendly), place looks as shown and was very clean. Host was accommodating for an extra check out hour. Very good location
Cons: This place is currently not suitable for more than a single/couple as the pull-out couch is a foam pillow and in NO condition for sleeping. There are was no spare bedding whatsoever and the space was minimally equipped (i.e: only 2 rolls of toilet paper, no cooking essentials (outside of salt/pepper).
Feedback to hosts: There was extreme construction happening directly in front of the apartment (directly under the bedroom and where the patio is located). This information should have been disclosed and it was disappointing that did not happen - especially as after reading other reviews, previous guests had both complained and mentioned it so they were very aware. No one wants to wake up to jackhammering at 6am (especially on a trip/vacation). This felt in bad faith that the host was not more transparent.
