Apartment is nicely decorated. Host was responsive. However there were a lot of issues that should have been communicated prior to the booking: water heater requires that you turn it on from a switch, wait 30 minutes, then shower, only 3 people would get hot water until we had to restart the entire process.
When the water heater is on, we couldnt have the AC on or else the electricity would shut off. That happened on day 1 and we had to wait half a day for an electrician.
Unable to use all AC units at once so some people slept in the heat. Couldnt use all appliances at once, so when we prepared coffee everything had to be turned off, to avoid the electricity outage.
This required a lot of coordination for 9 people. There’s a washer/dryer but we were told not to use it.
The building is abandoned- very dirty, mail on the staircase.
The apartment was clean but needed some repairs- door handles fell off, shower handles were off, broken chair at the kitchen table. There were a lot of inconveniences.
Neighborhood- it is 20 minute walk to the city center but you must walk through alleys and sketchy areas with junkies at night. But across the street there’s a Bread Company and a great restaurant Mironi nearby.
