Washer machine is broken. I share that here in the hopes that it'll help the host convince the landlord that that washer machine needs to be replaced since it's required by most guests. After the host replaces the washer machine, she can write a comment here saying the washer machine is fixed, and all will be well : ) Setting aside that issue, the apartment is spacious, in a good location, clean, happily minimalist in design & furnishings, and comfortable to stay in as long as the pizza place downstairs doesn't play loud music (if they do, then make a noise complaint with the police because the pizza place is not supposed to play loud music, and that should solve the problem for you as it did for us; they played loud music for the first 4 days, then after we reported them to the police twice in one day, they finally stopped for the rest of our stay).
The host was responsive and helpful. When I messaged her about issues, she would respond quickly and often come over same-day to assist. I really appreciate that. I mentioned that the washer machine had water sitting in it after a cycle instead of spinning and emptying the water. She looked at the settings and tried to help. It turns out that it's not an issue of settings but simply that the washer machine is old and needs to be replaced. There are many maintenance problems that can cause a pool of water to sit in the washer machine after cycle ends. The machine looks like it's from the 1980s. But most of the rest of the apartment is pretty modern and contemporary.
I highly recommend this apartment if you do not need a washer machine or if the host comments below saying the washer machine has been replaced with modern one. I wrote my comment about the washer machine primarily to help her convince the landlord because I understand that landlords can be reluctant to spend money on a building unless it increases their profit.
