I had a few issues with this stay. First off, the upstairs neighbor moves furniture constantly throughout the night. This is obviously out of the host's control, but something to keep in mind if you choose this stay. The city, especially the old part of the city smells like pee, but it is remarkable that the entrance of the building inside smells worse of pee. Again, not something the host has much control over, but a notable aspect of the stay.
The apartment was not clean when I arrived. There were cobwebs, dust and insect feces all over the place. The host refunded the cleaning fee and removed some of the cobwebs, but I would have much rather paid the fee for a clean apartment.
The worst part by far is that the apartment has a cockroach infestation. The host's reaction to my complaint was very frustrating. He invalidated my concern by saying that the whole city has a cockroach problem, which it does but I don't really think that's much of an excuse as you'll soon read, and decided to use sticky traps. That obviously did not work. Since the whole city was booked for the duration of my stay by then, I had to make it work. I bought some roach spray and that actually worked (hence my issue with the comment about this being an issue in the whole city). I should not have had to do that.
A weird thing is that the address posted on AirBnB is the one next door to the actual apartment building. My guess is to stop people from finding some awful events that have happened in that building online. I probably wouldn't even have looked it up if it hadn't been different, but it is something I thought I should share.
Overall, I do not recommend this stay without a very serious overhaul to the cleanliness and the pest problem as the location is good and the apartment is very functional.
