We counted on dropping our luggage off before check in time, as promised by the host. We waited for two hours communicating with the owner to do this. We were told by him that we could, as the cleaning person was in the apartment and we could hear the television. We wasted valuable time waiting as pre went back and for waiting for his replies, when in reality we could not access the apartment until checkin time. We felt his honesty was lacking. The apartment is in a great area and comfortable, but do not believe you can count on dropping off any personal belongings before check in.
