The host was absolutely amazing, responded quickly to messages, and was very kind to help with our luggage and any questions we had! This area was very close to the metro and main tourist attractions, as mentioned in the listing, however the neighbourhood itself did not feel or look safe. When we first arrived, one of the first things we were told by others and locals was not walk here at night and we were pointed out a few streets near us that we were told not to go to. A few people that we met during our stay also warned us about the area. There are also not many streetlights in the area so walking late at night was not good. As a result we spent more money on taxis to take us straight to the apartment door, even though it was walking distance to everything.
Although the place was cleaned, my friend and I did not feel entirely comfortable on the fur couch and bedroom areas so we did not feel at home. There were some bugs flying around and we are not sure if we were bitten in our sleep from bed bugs or just random bugs that were flying around. I myself was bitten in four different areas, twice on my shoulder, on my arms, side and wrist. My friend was also bitten the first night of our stay on her arms and hand.
The rooms and entire space if very dark in the later evening and the lighting is extremely poor, so it made getting ready for our evening festivities rather difficult. The photos in the listing make it seem like a very bright and spacious apartment when there are not many lights when the natural lighting goes away. The lighting in the hallway is also very poor, so to open the door to the apartment we had to use our phone flashlights to get inside.
