The apartment had the bare minimum needed, and nothing more. It was not so bad that we had to leave immediately, but we would not stay there again. It was a very convenient location, but everything else about it was very uncomfortable, if not worse. The place was in general disrepair, and it was pretty dirty, especially the bathroom.
Some examples of what we observed:
* Bathroom door handle is broken and has no locking mechanism
* Vent caked in dust and cobwebs
* Very grimy and stained tile in the shower
* In several places, walls and ceiling are badly cracked and loose nails stick out
* Walls are also stained
* The pillow was very lumpy
* The sheets and towels were very scratchy and stained
In addition, there were some safety concerns:
* When plugging my adapter into the outlet by the side of the bed near the door, it sparked
* My partner received a significant shock when touching back of washer
The host had a lot of granular rules, which were reinforced by post-it notes around the house. That made us feel micromanaged. She was not particularly hospitable and refused a pretty standard request for hypoallergenic pillows because it was "not far enough in advance" (24h) and it was inconvenient for her. Added to the rules, this made us feel not particularly welcome.
