Days leading up the check in I had asked a few questions to the host and there was no response. Other reviews for this place do indicate the host is slow to response and now I know when it's said a few times it should alarm you. Two days before check in I began to worry as I didn't hear back from the host and still had no directions to check in which means I had no information to get into the building. I had contacted Airbnb via the Airbnb messanger. Someone had assisted me in attempting to contact the host and get them to relay a response. The day before check in I had finally gotten a message from the host with check in details. The apartment is as described and pretty accurate to the images. Also, the location is in a good spot. One thing I had noticed was I kept feeling small gravel pieces when walking in the common space of the sofa to the bathroom. With a cleaning fee of $60 I thought maybe a clean sweeping could have been done. There also was a little residue from however the kitchen sink was used by the previous resident. I decided to sweep the floor myself with some tissue to clear the walk way. I think some good timely communication could have started this stay on a good note.
