The pictures of the apartment are accurate. It is on the smaller side, but okay for people who do not plan on staying home besides to sleep. It was pretty clean, a few spiders.
You do not meet the host, the key is left in a lockbox. The lockbox was difficult to find, as many of the streets were not labeled. There were several lock boxes near the apartment so it was time consuming trying them/trying to look for the correct one. We stopped in several restaurants/stores and no one could direct us where to go. We were told the lock box is around the corner/block, but did not know what block (since many streets don’t have signs). As people who did not have WiFi, this was extremely time consuming and challenging. The front door was also extremely hard to open/unlock from the inside and took several attempts each time.
Lastly, the washer/dryer door was jammed/would not open after completing the cycle (a pair or pants and a shirt, not a full load that wouldn’t fit). Several wash cycles were completed to try and get the door to release which was unsuccessful. Clothes were left in the machine as a result.
