I waited over an hour during check-in and nobody was there to greet me after I asked for just a 1-hour early check-in.
I was surprised and disappointed that the kitchen was poorly equipped. The host did buy a few extra kitchen items after my complaint, but there were still basic things missing. The kitchen is quite small so it is hard to work and there isn't much storage space. The fridge is superb, that is the best feature of the kitchen area. The laundry is very nice and works well.
There is no art anywhere in the entire apartment. The office has a tiny desk and no other furniture. The floor in the office was covered not by a floor or a mat but by a cheap foam strip that collects dirt and is unsuitable for being under a chair.
The bed mattress is weak and does not provide back support. The host provided me with only 1 set of sheets and 2 towels for a 60-day stay.
The furniture in the living area is quite good, a very nice table, a great bookshelf.
The apartment is at the back of the building so it does not have a view, instead you look directly into the neighbors from all windows.
I call this apartment the 3 spoons apartment because one of the strange things about the kitchen was the entire collection of spoons available was 3. I would imagine some had gone missing earlier, because there were more forks and knives. Speaking of kitchen basics, there were 0 butter knives. If you want to make toast, first there is no toaster... but then you must use a steak knife to butter your toast.
The stovetop electrical does not work, the host doesn't seem interested in fixing it and provides a lighter. The miniature lighter he provided is dangerous to use for this purpose. I replaced it with a proper long lighter so that future guests don't burn their hands trying to light the stove.
