Disappointed. Before coming to this apartment I had contacted the host regarding the description of a basement apartment. I was told that the apartment overlooked Cleveland Street, yet would still be in a lower floor.
When I arrived, there was leftover rice spilled on the floor of the entrance to the building. The apartment was literally situated in the basement, where I had to walk in a badly lit corridor and the air was really musty. The apartment looked nothing like the photos, which yes the host had stated the photos in the listing were only there for visual purposes and may not be the same as the actual apartment. But still, one would expect some similarities. The apartment was very dark, the floors were covered in dust, the chairs had stains on them, the couch was dirty, the amenities weren't clean, and the view from the windows did not overlook the street. In order to see the street I had to stand on my tip toes and look up to only see the feet of others walking. I immediately contacted the host, to which he was responsive. He offered to have cleaning services come in 2 days, as it was the weekend. However, before coming here I filled out a survey requesting a deep cleaning of the apartment. That was not the case. Unfortunately, I had to leave the apartment immediately because it was not somewhere where I wanted to stay the night in. Hopefully this review will allow the host to realise some of the many things that need to be changed. I was very disappointed as I didn't see a single bad review before booking.
