Pros:
-Very spacious apartment
-Matches the photos
-Lots of dishes
Cons:
- Strong stench of mildew/mold especially in the master bedroom and second bathroom.
- Extremely limited hot water. We found ourselves taking cold showers, and washing dishes and laundry in cold water.
- About half the dishes we pulled out of the cupboard were dirty.
- Check in was a hassle. You either have to pick up the keys across town (80 minutes by foot) or pay an additional fee for keys to be brought to the apartment. It made me uncomfortable they requested my credit card information outside of airbnb.
- I found communications with the host unpleasant. The apartment is managed by an agency and they want you to know that you are just one out of a lot of other rentals. It felt like I was mostly communicating with a computer and on the morning of check in I received no less than SIX messages requesting I check in 8 hrs earlier than I had said I was available.
