Let me start by saying the location is absolutely amazing.
However, I'm not sure if I would recommend this stay to others. Check in was easy enough and was able to get timely communication with the host.
The apartment, while cute and quiet, needed to be thoroughly cleaned. The refrigerator had opened leftover shredded cheese from a previous person and random opened jars, one of which had moldy pesto. The couch had lots of crumbs and lint between the cushions, not exactly what you want for a makeshift bed. No extra sheets for the pull out couch either (although there were supposed to be some). Lots of dust on the fan that was stored in a corner. The washing machine smelled like mildew and had black mold around the seal. The shower was the worst and had lots of black mold (not just stained) growing in multiple places. I had to clean it before I could even wash my toddler.
I understand that hosts can only oversee so much when they themselves are in another country but they need to make sure the people they hire to clean are doing their job.
Based on the other reviews raving on how clean the place was when they stayed I was surprised. Maybe the cleaning person didn't clean after the last people?
