The overall condition of this apartment is sub-standard ; the furnishings, wood flooring, carpeting and tiles on the kitchen work counter are soiled and in need of deep cleaning. The dim lighting in the living spaces including the bedroom loft do not hide the dust and dirt of neglect. The couch is stained and the mat rugs and wood flooring of the living areas are marked by dirt. The carpeted stairs to the loft are heavily soiled and the wall -to-wall rug around the bed needs deep vacuuming and cleaning to remove accumulated layers of thick dust , especially at the corner walls of both sides of the headrest. The shower stall has a stone floor that is damaged and thick with mold. The grout between the tiled walls of the shower stall is black with mold ; its glass door is filmy with soap and calcium deposits
My review of the host is that she answers emails but does not remedy problems. She responded to my reporting that a light fixture was broken by asking me to document the fixture with a picture. I did. The fixture remained broken during our stay. When I found no silverware in the apartment, she responded that she always provides silverware. Wherever the silverware was hiding remained a mystery to us despite having looked everywhere she directed us.
My final comment about this apartment is that its maintenance and cleanliness. requires improvement to justify its service fee and liveability for renters . The apartment is in a great location; and its interior design is well conceived but i these positives are outweighed by its condition which is tired, worn, dimly lit and unclean . A high point for the apartment was the white WC that looked recently painted ; and the very serviceable coffee machine.
