Pros: good location, access to transport, kitchen (stove, oven, microwave, fridge etc) is handy.
Cons: apartment appears larger in pictures, the floors and surfaces were quite dusty upon arrival; and there was no mop, broom, dustpan, sponges during our 7 days stay so that we could clean it ourselves, no floor mat for the bathroom and/ or in the shower which was risky because it was slippery, staircase was very narrow so it was a challenge going up and down with heavy suitcases, all dining chairs were flimsy so we could not sit down when eating, we used one stable chair from the bedroom, I was there that week for work and I received several phone calls and messages after midnight from host to attend to neighbours issues trying to enter the front door (my sister showed the tenants how to open the door with their key interrupting everyone’s sleep (they had the same issue the next day and banged on the door disturbing my mother’s sleep and got angry at her for not attending to them immediately). They left a note in the front door asking us to leave it opened/ unlocked however, we locked it for our safety (hence being given a key for it). It is not our responsibility to be present for other tenants problems so clarifying with tenants that you will be available to assist all of your tenants when needed is important (rather than palming responsibility off to other tenants). Host was not always responsive to my questions even after booking. The only time communication improved was when I said we have just arrived and needed instructions on accessing the apartment (that should have came the day before at least) and when the other tenants had issues and host wanted us to fix the problem.
