The host communicated well, and the apartment is in a very convenient location near many attractions. Aside from that, I do not have positive to add about our stay. The apartment wasn't ready on time, which isn't a huge deal, but I want to be thorough. There was an aggressive smoke smell throughout the apartment. It was the first thing we noticed every time we opened the door. It made it difficult for me to sleep as I am pregnant and currently very sensitive to smell. I would not have expected this as the apartment is listed as nonsmoking. The blinds in the back room weren't functional and so there is a very bright light from a streetlamp at night. I will also reiterate what other reviewers have mentioned about the noise. It is very loud, and this continues almost all night long. We also had the shop across the street broken into during our stay which added some extra special noise. To be fair, apart from the break-in, the area did not feel unsafe. We were left with rather short toilet paper rations, so if you still choose to stay here, you might just keep that in mind. What you see out is what you get. On the second morning, we found a bottle of urine in a drawer in one of the rooms. Not surprising as the part of our group in that room did complain about a pee smell the night before. Absolutely disgusting and unacceptable in my opinion, not to mention a huge health hazard. We did let the host know about this, but they simply ignored it in passing. We also had issues with the plumbing in the shower during our stay, so we had to kind of splash bathe ourselves. They did eventually fix the plumbing 5 days into our 7 day stay and at one point came and provided a temporary fix. As a single occupant Airbnb offers privacy, I wasn't excited about the fact that we had people in and out throughout our stay. The beds are not comfortable at all, though I may just be spoiled at home. We all had very sore hips by the time we headed home and barely got any sleep. The heaters are old and finicky which was another downside, but understandable in an older building.
For the price, I think that you would certainly be able to find something with comparable perks but avoid some of the discomforts we faced during our stay. I would not recommend staying here.
