I was quite disappointed in this studio. The price is high for the value provided. The location is great but other than that the studio is disappointing. The value would improve if the host would actually put some effort into furnishing the apartment, other than having a trundle bed in place. It’s obviously also used as a storage space for the host’s extra furniture, two desks, two desk chairs and two massive bookcases that take over the tiny space. The bed lifts into the ceiling, and instead of having a small coffee table underneath, the host stores the two desks and two desk chairs and two bookcases underneath, rendering the space unusable. There is a couch, but it has a massive mystery stain in it. The studio also has to be thoroughly cleaned, not just wiped down. The apartment looks out over the street. There are flimsy, translucent, dirty curtains on the windows that provide no privacy while changing with the lights on. They look directly into another building and people could see me down from the street. The sun would rise and the apartment would be shockingly bright around 7:30am. Clean, good quality curtains that provide privacy would improve the space. Better quality towels would be nice too, as the one that were provided were worn thin and had obviously been used 100 times. The pillows were awful, overused and old.
It felt like I was sleeping in a space that had been used by hundreds of other people prior, which is an extremely uncomfortable feeling. Lastly, the host did not let me store my luggage in the apartment for an extra hour. Check out was at 11 but my flight was at 4. I asked whether I could just keep my one roller bag in the apartment until 12:30, so I could get breakfast before leaving. The host declined and told me to go find a luggage storage space in the city. Overall, it felt like the host was just using the space to make money, and not caring about the experience/well being of the guests.
