As great as a host Lakshmi was, I felt the price I paid did not reflect what we got. In pictures, everything looked perfect - when in reality the apartment was quite unkept. The floors were dirty, the couches were stained, the shelves and closet were dusty, the dishes in the cabinets were dirty, and things were falling apart. The apartment needs maintenance.
Other than the conditions, Lakshmi was a very responsive host and communicated well. The location is also great with walking distance to coffee shops and parks.
