Our stay at Anastasia’s place was overall okay, but not as perfect as we would have hoped.
Starting from the positive aspects, the apartment is perfectly located, with a metro stop right across the street, very spacious and clean. Communication with the host was always easy and timely, check-in and checkout ran very smoothly.
Regarding the less positive aspects, the apartment is quite basic with some small defects – there is a humidity infiltration in the living room, the shower curtain does not prevent water from flooding around, a door handle came off while opening the door of the small bedroom, the entrance door lock is at times hard to open. In the entrance hall, there was always a bad smell when we passed through, and once we experienced the same smell in the apartment. The host did not provide enough shampoo/shower gel, although listed in the apartment description.
A closing remark regarding the registration fee that the host collects cash – fair enough, but personally, I’d rather pay everything upfront when booking instead of having a host asking for money during the stay, some vexation could arise.
