First of all, the host was absolutely lovely. She quickly responds and is very sweet and kind. She provided us with recommendations that were all spectacular and even with a walking tour of downtown which we did one day and loved
However, we were a tiny bit disappointed in the stay. We arrived after 3 pm check in at 3:30 and the cleaning lady was still there. Because she was there, she had dead bolted the iron gate and we could not get in. The cleaning lady also stayed until 4:30 which delayed our plans for the day.
The apartment smelled terrible especially in the bathrooms and there were bugs. It’s above a kick boxing class so was very loud in the morning. In one of the bathrooms there is a piece missing over the doorway and nails are sticking out which we stepped on multiple times. The couch has so many stains on it we never wanted to sit on it.
The host is lovely but she really needs to revamp her apartment. It could be lovely again but she needs to invest some more money in it.
