The location was fine, it's great to be away from the hustle and bustle but still close enough to a station.
The room had the pungent smell of mold/refuse coming from the kitchen sink. I contacted the owner about this and mentioned that the person staying with me had asthma and we were concerned about the smell. The owner simply responded that the apartment had been disinfected. Maybe there was something lost in translation. At any rate we attempted to overcome the wall of stench by spraying disinfectant down the sink which helped but did not resolve the matter. We were happy to leave the stinky apartment.
If/when the room is cleaned properly, this unit is fine to stay in. It's just a shame the owner didn't really assist us.
