I booked this apartment for my mom and dad for a short stay of 9 days. The host was extremely responsive by messenger, but there were several problems with their stay that I wanted to share.
(1) Check-in: Our check-in was delayed by an hour with only one hour's prior notice which was, in and of itself, not that big of a deal. When we arrived though, the entire apartment was *extremely* humid and smelled *very* strongly of bleach. Even with both the front and back doors vented, my mom needed to leave the apartment because of lightheadedness. When notified, the host insisted that this was part and parcel of cleaning protocol and was not responsive to a request of compensation for the poor check-in experience.
(2) Cleanliness: Upon arrival, we found a dirty and moist floor towel straddling floor between the bathroom and the bedroom. Additionally, my mom had to re-clean the toilet because of the strong smell of urine. (Though, we did not notify the host of this given the unsatisfactory response to our first complaint).
(3) Accuracy: Pictures are a bit misleading. Sufficient, but smaller than expected.
(4) Extra: Fan was broken. Host offered to reimburse us if we went and bought it ourselves given that he was travelling.
In all, the apartment was a fair price, located in a convenient location, and fit to description, but particularly disappointing regarding cleanliness and check-in.
