First the good stuff, the apartment was a good location for us and easy to find. we had excellent communication with the host, he responded super quickly to any concerns. Unfortunately there were some significant down sides. The main issue was the cleanliness, the floors had been swept and the dishes done, counters wiped off the toilet and shower were clean, however that's all that was clean. There was a thick layer of dust on most surfaces, grime on the walls and light switches, something had been spilled down the wall onto the electric register and onto the floor. The couch could use a good cleaning. One bed was made decently and looked clean (although the sheets were very wrinkled) the other bed had sheets that were stained and ripped. The other issue we had were a lack of amenities. There is no coffee maker, luckily I asked in advance and was able to bring my own, it was also missing basic things like face cloths, dish towels, oven mitts, steak knives and there was a shortage of blankets with just one thin blanket on a bed.
Now having said all that, we reached out to the host and he was very quick to respond. He went out and bought 2 brand new blankets, new face cloths and even a new sharp knife (we hadn't mentioned any other things) and within about an hour he had brought us these items. He doesn't do the cleaning himself and was surprised to see the issues, he walked around and took pictures of a lot of it and was extremely apologetic, he even refunded my cleaning fee as it hadn't been well cleaned prior to our visit. I fully believe he will ensure the cleanliness is improved. I saw other reviews that said it was clean, so perhaps this may have just been a bad couple months. I think if you are looking for a cheap place to stay and aren't too picky, this could be a good option.
