The apartment is a nice space with a beautiful private terrace. However, this is overshadowed by the awful smell that confronts you when you open the door to the building. It seeps into the apartment so the apartment requires frequent airing, even though it was cold outside. We had a couple other issues such as no internet or lights on the 4 flights of stairs for most of the second day. There was also a loud noise periodically coming from the upper story walls.
All of these things could have been pretty easily addressed but our attempts to contact the host were either brushed off or ignored entirely.
It’s unfortunate as it truly is a beautiful apartment in a great location.
