the apartment is very, very small and looks bigger in pictures. location is very good and convenient. the owners have used extremely cheap materials for furniture and vanity. i have jammed my finger on one of the kitchen cabinets. the apt is not too light. pretty much everything is of very, very cheap quality. at the end of march, towels do not dry and are consistently wet. there is no heat of any kind whatsoever. i believe it is a problem with the non summer months.
there is mold growing on the bathroom wall due the lack of heat. toilet seat was broken when we moved in. it broke completely after 2 days. it was the cheapest toilet seat that one could find. i have called and asked for replacement, and was requested to provide pictures. this is rediculous, as it is not my job to provide pictures of broken items to the host. it is host's responsibility that was not really taken seriously. in light of all of these issues, the apartment is overpriced. there is a washer provided, but the clothes do not dry at all during the non summer months. the cooktop, the washer and the water heater work fine.
there is a lot of noise from the actual building and the neighboring buildings. with some needed tlc, this apartment could be improved considerably.
