Honestly, I wish we had stayed in a hostel instead. Making the arrangements to stay was easy, and I'm sure the host is perfectly nice. However, he was not there upon our arrival (a friend of his let us in) and I did not meet/communicate with him for the rest of the trip. The listing was accurate in that we were provided one single bed and one double in a room. HOWEVER, the 1.5 bathrooms were actually just two HALF bathrooms, meaning one shower, one toilet. I'm not sure how many people were milling around the apartment at a time, but one bathroom shared among 6 people spells disaster. We did not use the kitchen as we had planned to do because we didn't feel comfortable using the shared space; we mostly just slept in the place and stayed away during the day.
Things that were fine:
- The room we stayed in was clean enough.
- It was literally just a place to crash
Things that were NOT fine:
- One bathroom shared among everyone.
- My friend walked out one morning to a man (was it the host?) walking around in JUST UNDERWEAR (not a comfortable situation for 2 girls traveling alone.)
- The door to our bedroom DID NOT CLOSE. It was broken and would not shut all the way, which meant no locked door and no privacy.
- Strangers milling around at all hours (which we would have been okay with if we had known who the host was.)
Overall, I would be much less upset if we had not paid so much to stay here. If it were cheaper that what we paid, it'd be a fine place to crash and potentially hang out for anyone comfortable with the things I listed above. However, it was not fine for us, and the only reason we completed our stay is because we had nowhere else to go.
