Overall, I found the photos of the apartment to be very deceiving, and the experience to be impersonal and average.

This apartment gets almost no natural light. On sunny days at 3PM in the afternoon with all the shades open, it felt like 7AM. In the non dining room/living room spaces, it's pretty much pitch black in the bedrooms, kitchen, and main hallway without the lights on.

Layout is really awkward, with a kitchen tucked way in the back, with the dining room in the front.

I would not describe this listing as tranquil either as there are several major sources of noise: the metro running underground every few minutes, the outside noise, noise from neighbours through the light-wells, and just generally thin walls in the apartment. All four of us had to wear earplugs to get to sleep.

2 of the 4 beds were fine, and the other two were really hard, and used linens of low quality.

Check in was a weird experience too: not only did we not get checked in by the owner, but we got checked in by someone we'd never spoke to who worked for the person who ran the place for the owner.

Check in took 20 minutes and included us giving up passport information and being told that we'd be charged if we used too much electricity—this was extremely weird and felt cheap. The check-in agent then stayed on his phone in the apartment for almost 30 minutes post check-in while we sat there waiting for him to leave. We also had to pay—in cash—7.80 for a city tax, which felt weird that this was not handled through Air BnB.

After leaving, we discovered stains on one of the sheets and contacted the host, who sent back the check-in agent with new sheets, replaced them, but not before essentially arguing with us that the sheets were actually clean and it was a bleach stain instead of just replacing the sheets, apologizing, and letting us get on with our day. This set a really weird tone for the entire stay.

Wi-fi would hard drop us at least a couple times a day.

The dish soap appeared to have been watered down, which is a major health hazard if so. And also just a sign of cheapness.

Check out, agent arrived 10 minutes before scheduled check out and immediately checked the electrical meter to see if we had gone over and called someone, presumably the owner. Again, this is super weird. There's a one page electricity usage sheet for all guests and this left a really bad taste in our mouths.

Overall felt like this was an apartment that some person owned and never saw, and only wanted to maximize a profit. Having an actual owner there makes a ton of difference and gives the personal experience that makes AirBnB great.
