A lovely apartment in an exciting, cool neighbourhood. Very nice to have a private wing of the apartment with bathroom, balcony and exit to the street. We never met Evelyna and Kirk as they were out of town, but it was very easy and a good experience to communicate with them over text. The neighbours welcomed us and were very nice and helpful.
Unfortunately the apartment was not clean :( Our private bathroom had not been cleaned properly as there were a lot of dust and hairs in the bathtub and the toilet was dirty. We had been looking forward to using the kitchen, but it was not completely sanitary and hadn’t been cleaned before we arrived. There were dirty cloths and cutlery in the sink, tiny flies around the food that were on the table and the fridge was not cold enough, so our food turned bad in a few days.
We communicated this to Kirk and Evelyna, and they were very sorry about it. Although it was disappointing because they had committed to extra thorough cleaning (because of COVID) and we therefore expected a super clean apartment.
I hope the hosts will take this into consideration next time they rent out the apartment, because besides from this it is a lovely apartment and they seem like some very lovely hosts.
