Pros:
The location is great.
The host was kind and helpful in text communication.
Cons:
The apartment is very small.
The loft is scary/almost unsafe - with access by rickety and tiny handmade ladder which is not adequately secured.
The front door has gaps in it that let in stuff (light, Bugs, sounds, odours).
It is VERY hot and humid. There is a fan and windows, but these did not help.
The apartment is on a noisy street with very loud truck (garbage?) noises early every morning.
