Cons:
Upon our arrival it was evident that the apartment was not check - in ready.
Frozen Refrigerator and Freezer. On the day of our arrival, we spent 45-50 minutes of our own time to clean and defrost the refrigerator/freezer and subsequently clean up the kitchen floor. The host initiated the process, but stated she had to leave.
Dirty Laundry/Linen piled on top of the washing machine.
Broken Washing Machine. We were not afforded the convenience of doing our laundry at the apartment. We had to spend 2 hours of our vacation time to find and use a local laundromat. When an “Intact and Functional” washing machine was expected as it was listed as one of the available amenities.
Poor Communication/Minimal Effort and Lack of Consideration was demonstrated by the host to rectify the problem of the broken washing machine and frozen freezer/refrigerator.
Carpet in one of the bedrooms needs a deep cleaning
Floors and Walls also needs to be cleaned.
Shower Head was propped up by a piece of cardboard.
Bath Tub is slow draining after taking a shower.
Vent in one of the bathrooms made an incessant “humming sound” - even after turning everything off. Trivial but be aware.
Balcony directly overlooks an unsightly Garbage/Rubbish Area. Obviously, the host is not directly responsible but an unpleasant and nasty surprise in comparison to the picture that was featured on the listing.
Miscellaneous Amenities that were listed as being provided were not i.e. matches for the stove.
Pros:
Great Location to the Underground, Market and Cafes/Restaurants.
Spacious Apartment.
