I do believe in honest reviews so here goes: Host: Pros — extremely communicative and responds within a timely manner. Was not there to receive me at check in but her son was. Cons —was immediately hostile and defensive when I raised some concerns I had with the apartment and accused me of making it up to get money back Apartment: Kitchen — has basic kitchen equipment, cookware & utensils weren’t clean upon arrival (was charged a cleaning fee and she admitted that the cleanliness of these tools are the previous tenants responsibility and that she cant be responsible for checking if everything is cleaned properly) , Bed — Bunk bed looks unsafe since wooden support shakes. Pull out sofa provided is manageable. Space — small but manageable (pull out sofa takes up most of the apartment so do not bring any large suitcases. Not a lot of space to put anything) Bathroom/shower — very clean and has many cleaning supplies present if needed. Shower is small but not a huge problem. Hot water — very limited, runs 10 - 12 minutes at a time (hot water) Others: Sunlight — gets plenty of sunlight and can be an issue if you don’t wake up early since curtains don’t cover the entire window (sunlight will hit you directly in the eyes and wake you up) Nice view that overlooks a busy street Noise — haven’t had any big issues with noise, the occasional late-night partygoer is to be expected Location — great location , in a popular area close to metro stations, restaurants, bars WiFi/TV: decent WiFi, decent TV When I first arrived I had called the host because she asked me to, and also the first code she gave me was incorrect. She picked up and was happy to give me the new code. I entered and realized I didn’t have her last name so I couldn’t find the second buzzer I needed to press. Called her again and she assisted . I found the apartment and was met with her son who did the cleaning and he gave me the basic tour of where everything was and asked if I had any questions. I said no and he left. The first night I noticed the dust issue but didn’t think much of it because I bought medicine and figured it would last one night (it didn’t). Woke up to sunlight hitting me in the eyes and realized the curtains were too high (didn’t cover the whole window). Again, just brushed it off. The following day it started raining so I asked if she had an umbrella in the apartment I could borrow, she said no and don’t bother. Ok? The following days I decided to use the kitchen, to which I found dirty utensils and old crusted food on some of the pans and kitchen tools. At this point I thought it couldn’t hurt to ask her to remedy the situation especially since I was charged a cleaning fee....
