My stay at Kadia’s started off very stressful. I was given instructions to get the building key from her mailbox but when I arrived the mailbox was locked and had a small opening for letters to go through. Kadia didn’t mention that I had to try and fit my hand through that small opening. I struggled as only half of my hand fit to grab a tiny piece of the envelope that was inside the mailbox. As I was trying to push the envelope out, the key fell out and slid to the end of the mailbox making it impossible for me to reach because the envelope was not glued shut. I had to McGyver my way with a pen I had in my purse to push all the envelopes to the front and finally hooking the keychain with my pen. The next day, I woke up with a bruised hand.
Later that day, I returned to the apartment and was not able to get inside due to the apartment key not working. I contacted Kadia and she responded quickly and sent her housekeeper to help me get in. The housekeeper also had trouble opening the door. Her and I practiced together and decided it was not going to work so Kadia left me a copy of the key in the black box that night and wished me luck. She did not stay to supervise that I can get in. Luckily, the other key worked but it was very hard to get it to open every time as it requires a trick that I later figured out.
There were also no instructions on the wifi or any of the appliances. The stove is very difficult to figure out as it requires a metal plate placed in the middle to gather the heat.
Nonetheless, Kadia was very responsive and available to help. Her place was also clean, nicely decorated and looks just like her photos. I suggest adding a small heater for the living room during the winter as it was cold at night.
