We left two nights early and went to a hotel room. The house wasn't clean, felt unsafe, and was uncomfortable. There was mold and mildew from a leaking radiator, hair and dust from previous guests, and the apartment in general felt dingy and not well kept up. We listened to the neighbors bodily functions (yep, all of them that you can imagine) all night instead of sleeping, and then heard every small noise from the street down below in the morning. The building was unsafe with dark hallways, and an unlocked front door (we saw a door man once, but not again).

Despite advertising heating and Air conditioning, the host refused to let us control the heating and a/c on our own. He won't let you adjust the radiators to your comfort level, and he takes the remote controls for the mini split heat pump, and A/C units so you can't use those either. He did offer to bring the remote the following day, but we weren't comfortable coming in the apartment when we weren't there, and by that time we had decided to leave anyway.

We've stayed at a LOT of apartments throughout europe (15 or 20 probably), and this was one of the worst. This is not the clean professionally managed apartment that most are. Think of this more as crashing at your cousins place in an old NYC building. Good enough for a family member letting you stay for free, but not worth paying for. There are much better choices out there.
