Pros: This apartment is in a great location and has a balcony. Both the neighborhood and the building felt very secure. The bed was comfortable. The host was kind and responsive when contacted.
Cons: The place is generally shabby and not in a shabby chic kind of way. It needs some general repairs and a deep cleaning. There were very few amenities, as if the host provided the bare minimum of what AirBnB suggests and not a thing more. The building seems to be on one heating control, so the apartment was chilly without using space heaters. Four heaters where in the apartment, one of which was broken with frayed wiring and one that was unstable due to missing a wheel. The water in the kitchen was blazing hot while the water in the shower, was not terribly hot even when on high. The water pressure was poor.
