This is a basic/spartan place on a noisy/busy street. The handrails going up to the apartment were so visibly dirty that the first thing I did was wipe them down with water and a paper towel. The kitchen was minimally stocked with 2 frying pans and a pot. After the first night we requested a few things, specifically a sheet pan, a baking pan as well as oven mitts and extra towels. What we received was more toilet paper and the towels. When we again requested the pans and oven mitts, the host told us they could not provide these things but offered to pay me $20 to write a nice review. This offer made me wonder if I could rely on the reviews for this unit. What would have been really wonderful would have been if they used the $20 and bought a sheet pan, baking pan and oven mitts. Overall, it was an okay place but we will not be returning.
