Pros
•	Good location
•	Well-functioning central A/C
Cons
•	This is a basement apartment, and the entrance is at the bottom of a steep, curved, and very narrow staircase, less than two feet wide at one point. Moreover, even though it did not rain during our stay, this staircase was always somewhat wet and slippery. It was awkward and difficult for us to ascend and descend the staircase with our luggage, and it was arduous and downright dangerous to do so with our baby and stroller. Anyone traveling with a small child should avoid this apartment, as should anyone with a disability. The listing should make these limitations prominent and clear.
•	Throughout our two-day stay, the staircase was also a haven for mosquitoes, day and night. As a result, we had to rush up and down the dangerous staircase to avoid getting bitten, and mosquitoes entered the apartment every time we entered or exited. So we spent no small portion of our time inside the apartment batting mosquitoes. This may not be an issue during the winter, but it was certainly a major headache in June.
•	The door to the apartment has no doorknob, just a deadbolt. So to open the door from the inside, one must pull on the deadbolt lever, which is extremely awkward. In addition, because the door seems a little bit too big for the frame, it required an unusual amount of force to open. Until this is fixed, anyone with low upper-body strength or a hand problem should avoid this apartment as well, as I could easily imagine such a person getting trapped inside.
•	The listing mentions a “lovely patio” in its title and includes several photos of outdoor furniture. However, there is no outdoor furniture, and the patio is in poor condition. This is misleading. We also saw a large rat rummaging through the garbage there, eliminating any desire that we might have had to venture out there.
•	Most of the apartment was clean, with a few glaring exceptions. The carpet in the bedroom was covered in dirt, and the floormat in the kitchen had old gum stuck to it. That clearly needs to be replaced. Like many babies, ours tends to look and place things underneath couches. The underside of this couch was replete with filth and dead insects. Clearly, nobody has cleaned underneath the couch in a very long time.
•	Both the towel rod in the small bathroom and the garbage can in the kitchen were broken.
•	Only two bath towels, one hand towel, and a washcloth were provided. The kitchen contained no towels at all. This is far below the standard of even an average Airbnb apartment.
