he only reason I'm giving this place two stars instead of one, is because the host was really helpful.
I booked the place more than a month in advance, so it wasn't a surprise last minute booking at all. And yet when we arrived the place was dirty. The host said that he just cleaned it himself, but clearly cleaning isn't his strongest skill. I wiped one surface near the bed and the sponge turned black. There were about two squirts left in the soap in the bathroom, and similar amounts in the dish detergent in the kitchen.
A couple days later when I changed the sheets, I saw too my dread that the pillow was the most disgusting pillow I've ever seen, and the mattress had multiple blood and other stains all over.
Also the thermometer knob in the shower didn't work. So the temperature couldn't be changed while showing. Or really changed at all. All my strength with both hands was required to barely move it. And as I was traveling alone with my toddler, not being able to change the temperature made it nearly impossible to clean my child. As the water constantly was way too hot for him.
I did the host and airbnb, and the host did clean the place more proper, and the he did get a new pillow the next day. And some time later the mattress got replaced as well. And when 50% was left of our stay, the shower temperature knob got replaced as well.
So for the 2nd half of our stay things were fresher and more functioning. And the host also got a bathroom rug, as there wasn't one in the beginning.
That being said though, when traveling alone with a small child, the last thing I want to do with my time on vacation is to constantly email the host and airbnb.
I grew up in Stockholm, so I've seen and experienced a lot of houses and apartment buildings in this city. And the laundry room and the garbage room, were by far the dirtiest I've seen in any building here in Sweden.
Also the apartment is on the ground floor. Which I believe isn't mentioned in the description. So I didn't feel safe to leave to window open at night for example.
The whole place could use a deep clean. And over all it feels a bit uncared for. There's no other mirror, other than the small one in the bathroom. I've stayed in airbnb in multiple locations, and this was by far the most basic one. Just to paint a picture, the only plants in the apartment are made out of plastic!
