From the beginning, the hosts responded to my questions quickly and were more than happy to accept my request of a slightly delayed checkout.
The apartment is arguably significantly nicer than the listing and photos suggest, and perhaps it would do for the hosts to replace the apartment photos to that with improved lighting.
The downsides of our stay, were that the cleaning fee is almost sneakily requested in cash at the apartment and does not come included with the already expensive fees of the apartment - worsening the value of the listing. And, secondly, a dehumidifier should be provided for each of the two bedrooms as sometimes the bedding felt slightly damp.
