Host was flexible with check in time. Location was great. Although tidy and surface clean, we found the apartment dirty.
Washer/dryer were behind locked doors, when I contacted host, was informed washer was broken..The host was kind to offer reimbursement of cost to leave with a laundry list service if needed.
While we knew smoking was allowed, there was an overwhelmingly strong smell of cigarettes that permeated the entire apartment including furniture, drapes, towels, even with windows open and air fresheners. My sister arrived later, and her taxi driver could smell it from the entrance, standing in the hall. Nicotine on the surfaces I wiped, even after 5 times. The couch cushions were dirty.
The freezer was stuffed full of host’s food so we had no room to put our own groceries.
A good location but felt overpriced for what was provided (I.e. no paper towels in kitchen or microwave, old towels) and the cigarette smell was simply not worth any price :(
