My husband and I are from America and are backpacking for several weeks. I chose our hotels and Air BNBs based on a few main criteria. 1. Proximity to public transportation and local sites of interest: the metro was a 3-4 minutes walk and we were able to get wherever we wanted to go. 2. WiFi: worked well. 3. AC: worked well. 4. Washer/dryer: washer and dryer shared by several apartments. The washer worked fine however the dryer did not work which was a big problem!! I did message the host and was told this would be looked into however did not receive a follow up response about this and when we checked the dryer again the next day it was still not working. The room is a bit humid and musty (we didn’t notice after the first day) and our clothes took 2+ days to dry hanging up which was an unexpected inconvenience.
Otherwise comfy bed, clean room, nice shower with hot water, kitchen, QUIET which was great for sleep, friendly and helpful check in. Yes there are prostitutes on the adjacent streets, none of whom bothered us. This apartment is on a more quiet / deserted street in the area and there were some homeless people. I’m not sure I would have felt comfortable coming home at night alone but we had no trouble as a couple.
