Hosts were really responsive and we appreciate that. Sadly, this apartment in real life is a dingier, less clean, less well-maintained version of what was photographed. Stains all over the sofa & carpet. The stains on the bathroom ceiling. The “cleaned” pots and pans had dried food debris on them. All of the nonstick pans had the coating peeling off. Totally unsafe to cook with. The kitchen sink does not run hot water at all, and the faucet barely works, unless you use it in spray mode. There was hot water in the bathroom, but the shower drains slowly and fills up fast.
The thing that really hits the most is a powerful odor in this apartment. I don’t know if it’s mold or mildew or a combination of the two, but it was clear by the number of plug-in air fresheners all over the apartment that the owner understood the need to cover this smell. Unfortunately, the plug-ins gave me a headache, so I unplugged them and that’s when the foul odor became apparent.
This apt. needs attention.
