The host left us a nice letter with info about local amenities and a bottle of wine, which was nice. The apartment was very spacious and clean and the TV set up was unusually nice - very large TV linked to Netflix and Amazon. There's an underground subway stop doors away, which was great for sightseeing - incredibly convenient. The only problem we had, which was a big problem, was that the shower/tub was very slow to drain upon arrival, and then stopped draining altogether leaving us unable to shower - we went out and bought a drain cleaner ourselves and tried that, twice, which didn't work - eventually were able to get ahold of the landlord who asked us to stay in one morning and wait for a repair person, who never showed - all of this cut into our trip time and also we were reduced to taking sponge-baths in the sink. It was still unresolved at the time we left. Our host was sympathetic, but ineffective in addressing this and it did impact our trip.
