THIS IS NOT AN APARTMENT. THIS IS NOT PRIVATE. THERE ARE NO APARTMENT-LIKE AMENITIES (not even a way to make coffee, fans/air, window screens, usable refrigerator)
I have been staying in AirBnBs and owning a few for years. I typically prefer to leave 5 stars and great reviews and just share any suggestions privately, however in this situation I feel I must warn future guests of the inaccuracies so they do not book this under the same misunderstanding I did. IF I had know what this listing truly was I would not have booked it for a family stay. This may be my fault for not reading all of the reviews that also say this listing misrepresents the actual place, but if enough people have said this listing is wrong why has it not been changed?

There is a code to get in to the building, which smells like garbage. Up the stairs to 2nd floor and there is a code to the hallway. This is where we assumed we would find the "private apartment"; however, we find a hallway with 4 rooms with codes and a reception desk.
The four rooms have beds, tiny bathrooms (apart from one larger room with a decent sized bathroom) a table and chair, smelly/room temp wine fridge (which I assume is the "bar" listed in the post), non functioning air units, and window with no screen, electric teapot and two glasses. This would have been subpar, but not terrible if I were booking a HOTEL room. Not a private apartment
These rooms, again, are off of a hallway with a reception desk that other guests will be walking in and out of, as well as any employees of guestlovers. This became an even bigger problem because NONE of the air conditioning worked (except at the reception desk apparently) and when told to "just open a window"; we soon realized there were no screens, thus tons of bugs bites. Also in order to get some breeze we though to open the doors in our PRIVATE apartment; however people could, and did, walk through the hallway so our open bedrooms would not work, but neither did trying to sleep in the stuffy June heat with no fan or air circulation at all.
All in all location was great and we just met up with everyone at the cafes nearby, but it really put a damper on the end of our family trip to have no common space or privacy when we booked a PRIVATE APARTMENT. Also the stench from the wine fridge, bug bites from our attempt to circulate air, lack of fans or air, lack of amenities to even make a coffee, and random people walk down our hallway made for an interesting stay that we won't forget. Also this must be for students because it could get a bit loud at times, and lots of garbage in the main entrance.
Please change your listing to be more accurate, or if you're looking to book this be aware that it is not an apartment and you can get hotels or hostels of the same or higher quality in equally good locations much cheaper. And if you do end up booking this, bring a fan, bug net, your own fridge, hot plate/coffee, and be prepared to see strangers in your hallway.
