The apartment is very clean but extremely tiny. There is no room for luggage, we had to leave our suitcases in the hallway. We were 3 and had hard time to move around. The kitchen area is tiny, you have to use the top of the washing machine for your groceries. There is almost no room to dry dishes.
Check in: Was a terrible experience. We were given a code for the door. The code did not work. After you try it 3 times without success it locks the door for 5 min before you can try again. We had to wait with our luggage in a tiny hallway which was very hot (then you start to blame yourself for not putting the right code with your sweaty hands). After trying 3 times (about 20 min) we wrote a message to the host and got a quick response: try again, there is nothing we can do to help you. After trying again we said we are leaving unless they send someone to help. So they sent the cleaning lady who was working nearby. She tried the code and saw it doesn't fit, and gave us a different code that worked. After 45 min we were in the apartment.
The problem is that the person who answers your messages have never been to the apartment before. They have no clue on how to solve issues. The instant response is because it is some kind of a messaging service, not a real host. We saw another evidence for that when we tried to cook. The electric stove did not work. I tried many times but it did not get warm. I followed the instructions but nothing happened. I contacted the host and was sent a copy of the same instructions. Then I googled it. I found out that this type of stove only works with a certain type of cookware, and that the pans provided in the apartment did not match it. When I tried the pot it worked! After 30 min, I found myself frying eggs in a pot. But what really frustrated me was that the person who sent me the messages gave me the feeling that I do not understand the instructions (same feeling I got when I wasn't able to open the door). It turned out I was not that stupid after all...
Location: Very close to the subway station as promised, but the station is very far from any tourist attractions. We had to take long trips and to switch trains on each way.
What we liked about the apartment: quiet, very clean, comfortable beds.
