Olga was very nice and friendly in person but we had some problems with the suite that left us having to find new accommodation almost immediately. I don't want to dispel anyone from staying here but there are some things that are unlisted about the space that people should know before they book it.

First of all if you are allergic to cats do not book the space. Olga says that her cat stays out of the room but based on my asthma attack and sneezing fits I can guarantee that the cat has spent time in the room. I probably should have asked ahead of time due to my sensitivity but I figured the cat would be mentioned in the listing.

Second, the suite is in a beautiful older building and as old buildings go they have old pipes/plumbing and sometimes have a bad smell. To cover this smell, the apartment is filled with fragrances including potpourri, oil diffusers, plug ins and more but to the point that it is too much. If you are sensitive to smells it will leave you with a headache. I was fine with it but for my friend it was way too much so she wanted me to include it in this review.

Lastly, the wifi signal is very weak to the point that you can only access it from the hallway.

It should also be noted that Olga was quite late to meet us at our prearranged time and left us standing in the rain for over 40 minutes. She seemed quite unapologetic about this when we sent our follow up messages to try to figure out where she was... then she sent her very young son to meet us who could not answer any questions about the suite.

Up to this point I've had only amazing experiences with airbnb and love the service, but this was not the case in this apartment. These things were issues for us but hopefully they won't be issues for others who choose to stay here.
