This is an aged apartment complex, and Mike and Anna has put a lot of effort to refurnish the apartment. This is my 6th Airbnb experience, and it is honestly quite different from the other experiences I ve had.

1. Occupancy tax. I understand it was stated at the listing, but I wish they could have added the tax into the rental cost, so it could avoid confusion. The host has done his job to remind me about the extra fee immediately after he has approved my stay.

2. The area isn't as safe as I thought. There were a few nights I see some people wandering outside our apartment area in the dark, and sometimes we could hear screaming and shouting.

3. Pest control + hyginue. When we 1st got into the apt, it smells unbearably stinky. I must say that I am not a picky person, and all we need is just a place to sleep, but the smell was really horrible. We used 2 days to get all windows open and cleaned the floor and everything, so the smell has got away. Also, there are way too many ants in the house. One night, i was burning the candle, I found that there are more than 20 ants travelling on the coffee table. And when I take a closer look to the carpet and even on my bed, I found that there are many many many ants everywhere. (we have not cooked at the house at all). What is even more horrible is, when I wake up in the morning, i found that there are ants walking on the face! So 2 of the nights, we have decided to sleep at our friend's place.

Mike is a very nice man. He has came to the apartment in person to welcome us, and to receive the occupancy tax. He is very friendly. Also all the furnitures are brand new from Ikea, which is very nice living at an apt filled with new furniture. But I really wish that the apartment hygiene could have been better.
