The apartment was very disappointing in person, and I ended up cancelling my reservation and finding another accommodation. As a solo female traveler, I have to trust my gut, and I was immediately uncomfortable with this apartment. On the surface, the antiquated charm and style are nice and things appeared clean. However, upon closer inspection, I was disappointed with the cleanliness of the apartment. First of all, the place smelled musty and unused like it had been shut up for several months and needed to be aired out. Objects on countertops hadn't been moved to be cleaned under or around, so there was grim underneath them. The washing machine had mold growing in it. And while I understand the building is old and the history and style are trying to be respected, it just looked worn and a bit dirty. And I know and do not expect basic necessities, but there was only a tiny half roll of toilet paper and a basically empty bottle of dish soap upon my arrival. It would have been nice to know that I needed to bring toilet paper in advance so I could come prepared. I received no communication from Elsa, except for what felt like an automated message about check in a few days before. According to the listing, the host would check me in in person, but it was an automated self check in system. She did message me to know why I had cancelled, but other than that, there was no personal touch to make me feel welcome or comfortable.
