The location is ideal. The furnishings are adequate in an IKEA manner. AC served well during a hot week. The view is not “breathtaking”: it is through a small dormer window covered with bird droppings. Most important, the apartment is woefully under equipped. No garbage bags, no paper towels, no kitchen towels, no salt or pepper, no coffee pods, no olive oil, no cutting board, no spatula, one roll of toilet paper, no local information about garbage disposal or proximate food market, etc. etc. It would take very little effort for the host to make this a much more acceptable choice.
