BEWARE!!! Cockroaches, very dirty unkept common areas with broken window and beer bottles, dirty kitchen equipement, moldy shower, apartment was not cleaned when we checked in. Ive never had to write a bad review for any stays but this has been the worst airbnb experience (we've stayed at almost 2 dozen). The check in process was a pain because someone needs to meet us to let us in so you have to time it perfectly. We're a family of 5 with 3 little kids so imagine having all our luggage sitting on a narrow sidewalk on a busy road waiting to be let into the apartment. While we were waiting, we noticed someone left a beer bottle and cigarette butts drowned in a cup of beer next to it. When the lady finanally showed up to let us in, she looked at the mess and didn't clean it up. I realize it was on the outside of the building but the onus is still on her to keep the place tidy since it was on her door step. The common area was very dirty, the stairway window was broken and the stairs and flooring was very worn. I understand this is an old building but you can tell they don't take care of it. Once we got into the apartment, it was a total mess. There was a mix up with the cleaning people so we ended up wandering the streets super tired for a few hours waiting for them to clean. At this point I did consider contacting airbnb to get another apartment but we were all so tired from traveling and there was nothing available in the area with a 2 bedroom. I voiced my concerns to the host and they were nice enough to refund me the cleaning fee. Once we got settled into the apartment, I noticed some of the dishes and cookware are dirty so I had to wash them again. The write up of the apartment says the place is renovated and while thats true, the renovations were done to a minimum and looked like it was done many years ago. The walls had a lot of stains and marks on it, the shower is covered in mold, a window wouldn't lock (which the host fixed the next day) and electrical outlets are ripping out of the walls. Half way through our stay, we found giant cockcroaches in the apartment (about 2" long) and I hate to imagine if they crawled through our bedding and clothes! I think the only good thing this apartment offers is the location however, there are many other airbnbs in the immediate area that are WAY nicer for a little bit more money (about $150 more for a week stay). I advise stay away from this apartment and find one nicer in the area. You'll be a lot more comfortable and have a more enjoyable stay. By the way, that beer bottle and cup on the door step, it was still there when we checked out 6 days later.
