While the apartment was cute and in a central location, there were a few quirks that made my stay less than pleasurable. For starters, I did not appreciate having to wait two hours to check in at 6pm, especially since the scheduled check-in was at 4pm and the listing showed a check-in of 2pm. Even with the delays, the host did not hesitate to ask when we would leave her apartment and insisted on an 11am check-out.

The apartment was nice, but felt the amenities were a big production. From opening the door, to lowering the blinds, to taking a hot shower, almost everything required an elaborate ritual that was a bit annoying.

In addition, I did not appreciate the host showing up at the apartment without my alignment. In the future, I recommend getting approval from the guest before showing up for whatever reason.
