The check-in was great and the host as well as the person who checked me in were very accommodating. Due to a delayed flight, I arrived very early in the morning and they were still able to check me in when I arrived. This was much appreciated. Other communications with the host were fine, sometimes a little unwelcoming.
The apartment is located in the city center with a lot to do in the surrounding area. The area can be a bit sketchy, so it's always good to stay alert and don't walk around with your phone out, but we never had any problems and really enjoyed the neighborhood. I would not describe the apartment itself as "bright", as we actually found it to be quite dark and the main bedroom has no windows to the outside at all, making it very dark.
The wardrobes and kitchen have a lot of stuff in it and it feels like you're living among someone else's things. I found it difficult to even use the kitchen because of how much stuff was in cabinets and on the countertop. The refrigerator is very small and the freezer portion leaks and doesn't work, so if we kept food in the fridge it often ended up saturated with water.
For the price of the apartment, I felt the quality was not up to par. It's definitely a more expensive apartment and I would think it would be a little more comfortable for the price we paid.
I also realized that the host made a new listing for the apartment as the old one has not so great reviews. Overall, I probably would choose another apartment to rent next time.
