The bedroom itself was very clean, tidy, and spacious. Communication was great - very easy check in. We loved the bedroom space that we had for the two nights, but our experience overall was not the best. This was my only apartment on my 3-week trip with such issues and I truly wish it was different.
We felt that the shared kitchen area was not being cleaned effectively. When trying to make breakfast, the pans needed to be washed and scrubbed before use; the tea kettle had dark-coloured standing water inside and had to be cleaned before use. The washing machine was not available for us upon request, which was one of our reasons to choose this apartment since we had a long trip - now we know to message hosts prior to arrival if we require laundry use.
We were warned about the noises outside from previous reviews and to bring earplugs. I am a very deep sleeper so I was not initially concerned, but the merchant carts outside were so loud that I barely slept either night. We had trouble with this at night when they were closing up and then again in the early morning when they returned.
