Our host seemed like a lovely person, though we never met. Give all the positive review posted, we were disappointed with the apartment’s condition. We stayed for 5 nights and were not happy and can’t recommend. Potential but needs cleaning and some TLC.
What didn’t’ work: The apartment had only a cursory cleaning. We had to sweep and mop the floors (pretty dirty), clean the kitchen (food splatters in the microwave, refrigerator, inside drawers,) cabinets and surfaces had grease on them. Floor was very dirty. Shelves were dusty which we discovered when we took our clothes to get dressed. Bathroom was clean. Shower was clean (for an old building) but it would not drain and the shower head (not like that pictured) would to work. Place needs painting, better suited furniture, and suitably equipped kitchen.
We told her about the shower not draining or the shower head not working, but didn’t hear back for 2 days and it was going be addressed after we left.
What worked: location can’t be beat, elevator, ample towels, initial communication, check it. Her initial communication was great. She made sure we had all we needed to check in and get keys. Very detailed, helpful instruction.
