Our stay at Yi Shu's home was not what we were expecting. On arrival our hosts hardly greeted us. We were given no information on the flat. We also received no towels. When we asked for some, we were given wet towels.
The flat advertised us being able to use the kitchen and living room. However, the door for the living room/kitchen was often closed, leaving us to believe we were not welcome there. Yi Shu and his partner often slept in the living room instead of their room. We did not feel comfortable using the "common space" as it felt like their bedroom.
The common spaces (kitchen and living room) were messy and unclean. There were no clean dishes or cutlery. The hob was sticky and dirty. There were dirty dishes and food left out on the counter our entire stay. The bin was a bag left on the floor that collected all their trash.
The bathroom was dirty and disorganized. Their personal items were scattered throughout. Tampons, soap, cleaning products, toothpaste on the floor and all countertops. They did not leave space for our toiletries.
Overall, the flat was not as advertised. If they had advertised the listing as just the room with no use of the amenities and was cleaned well, then this review would be more positive.
