The location is perfect. Right near many subways and attractions. The apartment has a nice view but it is a bit bare and scantily decorated. The couches are old and small.
The building doesn’t have lights on in the common area hallways. You literally have to enter the building in the pitch dark until you find the switch. It’s like that on each floor as well. It’s a little daunting entering a pitch black building late at night in a foreign country.
The windows in the apartment don’t have shades or blinds so expect to wake up early.
The bathroom doesn’t have a shower curtain or a place to hang the shower head so expect a soaked bathroom.
Many messages to the host prior to the trip went unanswered until a day before my trip.
