Benefits: The apartment was very clean and also conveniently located. Thanks to the clear instructions, we got to it without any problems. In addition to that, the host responded very fast and answered all of our questions.
Drawbacks: One of the inconveniences was that the air conditioner needed to be always on to have a normal humidity level and the floor was very cold (we visited in the beginning of November). It was a bit darker and smaller than we expected based on the photos but this may depend on one's perception. The larger inconvenience was that the bathroom door was quite squeaky and could not be closed fully - there would always be a narrow space between the wall and the door due to how it is constructed; so be sure to take this into account if you are not travelling alone.
The communication was nice and friendly until the point when we could not find an item (an iron) that was given in the description. When we asked the host, they silently deleted it from the description and suggested to use a hair dryer instead without apologising for the inconveniences this created. Eventually they admitted that it was indeed in the description but they accidentally had forgotten to delete it after some guests had broken it before us. After being a bit skeptical about somebody needing an iron, they offered to deliver it the next day (we stayed three days and always left very early, so that was by our last day) - and they did, you can see it now in the description and we didn't break it :) The iron was not critical to our staying there but the negative response from the host - who tried to hide their mistake, never apologised and was a bit rude, calling us unthankful when we said we wouldn't be needing it for our last day (since we already spent quite some time with a hair dryer and managed to handle two days our of three without it) - left a bad feeling for the rest of the stay there. Everybody can make a mistake and that is okay, we would only give advise to admit a mistake rather than trying to hide it, to say sorry without being skeptical and then offer some sort of a solution - this would create a much better impression.
By the end we managed to return to the friendly note :) In any case, we want to thank for the staying and their efforts to deliver the promised item and we hope the hosts understand how they can handle better such situations.
