You can expect a clean and comfy space, suitable for one person. The MOST important expectation, and one I was completely unaware of, was the dog, a wirehaired dachsund named Lucas. I love dogs, but there was no mention that this dog would bark constantly. This became a huge nuisance, as it happened every time I arrived to the apartment, approached the host (Lina) to ask a question, flush the toilet, or open/close my bedroom door. I think very little was done to improve this situation on the host's end. My frustration was obvious. I was told it was up to me to make sure to stop and calm the dog down each time. I was informed by the host that she was a light sleeper, and as this barking happened consistently, it forced me to spend as little time as possible at the apartment as to not disturb the hosts and neighbors, especially at night.
I also did not expect the host would be using the home as an office to see clients at one point, which limits use of the living room/kitchen. The guest may be told the night before that they will not be able to use these areas the following morning (as I was).
