We never met our hosts but they were in continuous contact with us. The directions were easy and accurate. The apartment was updated as described with a nice refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker and a nice TV set up. Upon entry there were about a dozen huge flies flying around and ants on the floor. The unit needed an airing out. It seemed like no one had occupied it for awhile. The host had an exterminator come over the next day to take care of the bugs. We've never stayed at an Airb&b place so we didn't know what to expect. We had to buy coffee filters and coffee to use the pot, soap and washcloths for the shower. The host had a hairdryer overnighted. It could use more comforts like additional curtains for privacy and a lamp
or two. There are a lot of steps going up to the unit from the main road which wasn't mentioned in the listing however you can drive around the block and park in the alleyway by the front door.
