The apartment didn't feel unclean when I arrived, but did feel "stale" - like it hadn't been occupied in a while. The fridge and freezer doors were both propped open and the power to the unit turned off, which also implied it hadn't been occupied in some time, so I wasn't altogether surprised when I found live bugs in some cupboards. I brought this to Victor's attention though and he graciously relocated me to an apartment around the corner and had the apartment sprayed. Overall, very accommodating and accessible host. The location can't be beat.
