We were very excited to have found a place so close to the University and, unfortunately, when we arrived, the apartment was not clean or inhabitable -- carpets stained and sticky, clumps of hair in the stairwell, dust and unclean surfaces, and old, dirty furniture. We couldn't stay there and the host said she'd give us a full refund. We still have not received it over two weeks later. The host would do well to invest in a good cleaning service, some furniture, and to personally inspect the public areas before the next guests arrive.
