The apartment is conveniently located and clean. The communication with the host was clear and swift as was the flexible check-in. Despite having less natural light than the photos suggest, is a nice abode for a longer stay. However, my experience suffered from the need for maintenance: the plants are dried out; floor boards are lifted; the furniture is visibly used. The a/c trembled with a loud sound above level 1 and there was a constant sound of running water from the toilet flush adjacent to the bedroom wall. All the above had quick fixes, which the host's maintenance staff kindly showed me. The shower was not functioning and, despite the hosts' efforts, was not possible to fix during my stay. I bathed w/ kitchen pots and asked the host for a discount, which they refused and accused me of dishonesty. Airbnb intervened and resolved the claim by proving the host was aware of the situation. The host then tried to claim that I broke the guest rules, which Airbnb also ruled in my favor
