I think Alex is genuinely a good host, and his reputation is a testament to the quality of his efforts despite some glaring problems with the suite that are apparently beyond his control. The first obvious problem is the neighbourhood, as others have noted. You can expect to hear shouting at night and even witness a fight (I did). However, I sort of knew what the neighbourhood would be like, so that wasn't the biggest issue for me. First I was surprised by the building, which is really run down in stark contrast to the bright pictures of the suite. But you live in the suite, not the building, right? Well, not as far as the vermin are concerned. My main complaint is with the bedbugs in both bedrooms (I also saw some on the couch) and German cockroaches in the kitchen. Despite all these things, I would say the suite " in itself " is good. However...those are pretty huge issues which you can't ignore. Frankly I'm surprised that no guest seems to have mentioned these before, then again it's not the first time I've noticed abnb guests get ingratiated by their hosts and don't always leave the most candid reviews (i dont know why). Oh I also heard mice skittering through the walls. Anyway I wouldnt recommend staying here for more than a couple days, rather than a month like I did. I was happy to finally leave, and felt that the suite was overpriced and somewhat misleadingly advertised given its glaring flaws. The host may deservingly be a superhost, but apparently that title is obtainable despite the quality of the actual suite. I'll resist making a pun about what else the superhost may be hosting -- in a parasitic sense. Farewell my bloodsucking friends -- you'll be remembered by the bitemarks.
