The condition of this apartment was misrepresented by the photos and description. A few days before our arrival, the host sent a message saying that the toilet was not able to handle toilet paper being flushed down it, and past guests were forced to pay extra plumbing fees for breaking the toilet during their stays. This was a remarkable inconvenience, as we then had to place toilet paper in the trash for the duration of our stay. Additionally, on the night of our arrival, the sofa bed, which extended into a queen size bed made up of two separate twin mattresses, broke after we both sat on it to take off our shoes. We were then forced to sleep on a broken bed for the first two nights of our stay, and the host asked us to pay for a replacement bed, even though the damage was a result of a poorly made and generally unsafe product and nothing we did ourselves. Finally, on multiple occasions we returned to the front door to the building not properly closed, so anyone was able to walk into the lobby of the building, which became a safety concern for us and our belongings.
The host's communication throughout our stay was fast and friendly, but we are unable to give this apartment more than a 2-star rating because of the inconveniences caused by the broken bed and the semi-functioning toilet.
