The host was quick to respond and accepted our request to leave our luggage ahead of check in time and come back later for the actual check in. However, we had to wait for an hour outside the apartment after the agreed time, without any text response. The apartment is as mentioned in the listing: tiny and the bed is on a wooden floor. The two floors are connected with a small wooden staircase. The staircase seemed a bit dangerous and not sturdy enough. There was noise from the road. The apartment is close to the train and bus station but the surrounding area seems dangerous especially at night. However, it was a 5 minute walk from the city center and the city main attractions which was convenient. The day of our arrival, the towels were missing. They were provided to us the second day of our stay, after we requested for them.
Finally, the apartment was generally filthy after the actual check in (it was as if nobody had cleaned it before our arrival) and there was rust in two places in the bathroom.
