We stayed at Liza's apartment for 5 nights. First of all, Liza is a fantastic host - she welcomed us at the apartment and was super responsive to all of our many questions (e.g. where's the iron, wifi isn't working). The fridge was pre-loaded with lychees, grapes, croissants and blueberries for us to enjoy. Also, the neighborhood is safe and close to restaurants and attractions.

However, i hate to say that we had issues with the apartment that not even a great host could overcome. In terms of cleanliness, the apartment was arranged well and certainly was not messy but the floors were dusty and looked like they hadn't been mopped in some time. Also, the apartment suffers from insect issues (spiders, ants). There are cracks in the doorway that lets quite a few ants into the apartment - to the point that I would see them in the bathroom on a daily basis. Yikes...

This is not what we had in mind for our stay and we ultimately wished we stayed in a hotel.
