It is not the nicest. The apartment is a bit more shabby than photos. The chairs are worn and the dining area wall has the paint peeling, although maybe the picture that was lying on the floor was supposed to cover that, but did not get hung up.

Also, it is listed as a three-bedroom apartment, but it is really a two-bedroom apartment and living room with a sofa bed. The living room is private and the sofa bed is comfortable, but the apartment does not have 3 real beds.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the apartment is managed not by the host, but by a company called iambnb, a dutch company that rents out properties for its clients. There is a corporate feel to it all. The company representative who let me in took a picture of my identification and asked me for my email address, even though I am already verified through Airbnb.

They could not give me a key to the downstairs door upon arrival and suggested that I just ring the other apartments until I found someone to let me in. They were expecting me to do this until the next day when they could bring the key. I was upset by this, and after several texts and going back and forth about it, they agreed to send someone that day. Which they did, and fairly promptly, so good. However, I wish that I had not had to throw a fit about being able to enter the building freely.

The place was pretty clean. Only the kitchen had a few problems, like moldy pasta sauce and spoiled milk in the refrigerator. Also, there were no plastic bags for the trashcan (looked everywhere for them). The inside of the trashcan was nasty.

It was not obvious which bedding was available to make up the sofa bed. I ended up taking a comforter and two pillows from the floor of the closet in the master bedroom. I hope they were clean. They seemed to be.

Location is good. It is close to the metro. The apartment has a lot of potential, but I will not stay there again.
