We were surprised by the apartment complex's hallway when we first arrived because it had peeling paint, was filled with dust, and smelled fairly old. Additionally, one day there was a marijuana odor outside our flat. When we arrived, there were wet sheets drying in our room and the bed sheets were stained. The walls were also quite thin and we could people in the rooms above us and people outside as they walked past.
However, the inside of the apartment was nicely furnished and cozy. The kitchen had all the necessary equipment for cooking and the host was very responsive.
