The apt is very clean and the communication with the host was easy and her response was prompt.
The apt did not accommodate 8 couples. The final bedroom had a small futon for the 4th bedroom .
The apt was up 4 flights of stairs. The stairway was not lit and pitch black. One needs a torch to maneuver the stairs.
The location is very handy for the metro.
We stayed 2 full weeks and we were not provided with any cleaning materials. They offered a mid stay cleaning for a fee. (I think it was $80)
This apt did not offer any personal touch as do some stays.
