Pros:
- the host was helpful with sightseeing tips
- we were able to check in earlier than 2pm (we forgot to check the time Ammar had listed and arrived earlier accidentally)
- the location is great, its close to most attractions and metro stations to get around
- the room could be heated with the air conditioning (that was very helpful, since we arrived in January and it was pretty chilly)
- it was quiet and the room was very clean
Cons:
- the apartment smelled bad, it seems it relies on air fresheners rather than consistently airing the space out (also, the smell of the bathroom spreads easily throughout the apartment due to its small size)
- there was no warm water in the sink and the water in the shower was lukewarm (obviously not the hosts fault, just something that should be noted, especially when traveling in winter)
- the TV is in the living room, not in the room itself
- there was no hairdryer or non we could identify to use (but we also didn't ask)
- the kitchen rules stated that there is no cooking allowed (in contrast to the amenities listed), which we unfortunately saw too late, since we were planning on making some food at home
Taking all pros and cons into consideration, we would feel that we expected better value in terms of price
