Pictures accurately reflect the inside, however the area itself is awful and this was not shown (probably because you would be reluctant to book). I found this rather unfair as my boyfriend and I were just looking for a safe place to stay and feel comfortable. There was glass all over the streets as well as dog excrement, litter and foul odors. People tried to either sell you things or beg for money on every corner. Naturally, this made us feel very unsafe and reluctant to explore the area itself.
There were also only paper plates available to have dinner on, which is disappointing both for the environment and the fact we booked airbnb to experience home cooking.
The upstairs bedroom whilst nicely decorated and furnished with an extremely comfortable memory foam mattress was sadly unusable due to the heat the room keeps.
There is aircon downstairs but there is just no way of cooling upstairs! We were forced to sleep on a rather stained and misshapen sofa bed downstairs which is just not the comfortable sleep we were after.
To clarify: the apartment itself is nicely decorated, modern and true to the photos. The host has evidently made a great effort to make it homely and nice.
The area and the heating/cooling issues were just difficult for us to accept given what we payed for - and that the experience of staying here was worse for us than expected.
We also never actually met the host, and only had brief/one-word answers to our questions and messages.
