Pros to this rental: Excellent central city location, large and spacious rooms with very high frescoed ceilings, two very nice and clean bathrooms, and lots of closet space. Good communication with the host on Airbnb messaging site but my husband had a more difficult time communicating by phone when he arrived, but nothing major.
Two major cons: The smell of the rental for the entire week was hard to take, it had a continuous bad sewer smell that permeated the entire apartment, so we did not spend much time there except to sleep. And the very loud street noise below was pretty continuous all during the night, every night, sometimes up to 5am. The widows and walls must be very thin and the noise (even people talking) would bounce between the close city buildings and travel upwards to this upper level apartment. We had difficulty getting to sleep and then being woken up several times each night. It's nothing the host can change, so we bought ear plugs and that helped some. This place is very adequate for a lot of people, but situated in a way that is quite segregated from one another. The kitchen is two rooms away from the dining/living room. Excluding the bathrooms, the tile floors were dirty/dusty- wearing socks or going barefoot collected a lot of unwanted junk on our feet. The sofa/chair pillows were unclean/stains on them. Also, though it says shampoo is provided, they were tiny packets of hotel shampoo that you tear open and were very insufficient, certainly not enough, to so you might want to buy your own bottle of shampoo as we had to. The toilet paper also was insufficient for our 4-people's week stay and we had to buy more. There were adequate clean white towels. This is a rental for the purpose of tourist stays and not a personal home of someone. The kitchen seemed well stocked for making and eating meals there, though we did not use it due to the odor.
