Martina’s place has definitely its pros and cons. It’s I would say an OKAY experience, not the worst but definitely not the best.
Cons:
- Check in instructions said that it’s on the first floor but instead the apartment was in a beat up apartment building with a creepy hallway on the 3rd floor. No mention of us needing to carry our luggage up. We didn’t mind it but I’m sure people need to know. The hallway lights turn off and it gets super dark.
- Our host did not have any soap, and only provided us with 2 packets of shampoo for a 3 night stay.
- The drawers were filled with stuff ( cleaning supplies, wifi boxes and etc.)
- Host isn’t very accommodating, it was raining heavily and our check in was at 4:00pm (late in my opinion) I asked if we could check in early but with no luck. She simply told us if we wanted to we could leave our luggage in another apartment building hallway, which I did not want to do. We actually showed up at 3:00pm and they were still cleaning the apartment. Thankfully the host was there and we asked if we could leave our luggage there an hour early, to which she agreed. Granted I understand that there is a set check in time but being a little understanding goes a long way.
- You need to plug in the keys to turn on the electricity so if you want to go for a quick run somewhere you need shut the ac off and can’t have another person in the apartment because you need keys to get get back in.
- The apartment gets noisy, you could hear neighbors clearly.

Pros:
-The host communicates quickly.
- The apartment was clean to the point that it smelled like bleach.
