The apartment was not terrible, and the living room and bedrooms were decently made up. Our host was gracious and helped us check in early. He also did seem genuinely apologetic when things went wrong below.
I cannot recommend that someone stay here until the host addresses the cleanliness of the kitchen. We found plentiful roaches within moments of our arrival, as well as a fridge full of half eaten food, and standing water in the produce drawers. Personally, we canceled and left within the hour.
Given that AirBnB is fighting to not refund me for this booking, I’d say it’s not worth the risk to stay here.
