After reading reviews I asked Loan about the situation and he mentioned cockroaches were under control. I figured how bad can it be and booked it, but I was wrong.
Upon arrival we saw so many roaches that we contacted the owner and he sent for exterminator. The week after the exterminator was brutal - every morning we swept away dead cockroaches, we could not unpack and we spent time cleaning instead of enjoying.
The apartment was not very well kept to start with. We found lots of small dead cockroaches from before our time in the fridge(!), there was clutter in the cabinets which smelled like cockroaches, lots of food and liquids under the fridge.
During our 5 week stay the exterminator came in twice, but it didn’t get much better. At least 5 times I caught cockroaches crawling on me, they would run through food, fall out from AC, hang in the toaster. It was really just disgusting. I kept wondering if we see so many of them, how many do we not see?
We were happy to return home.
