I think my review is in part a dissatisfaction with the AirBnb structure in general. The structure lacks accountability. Even though this was a corporate apartment there was a long delay in replies and general gentle yet kind lip service to any requests made as the check in time was changed on us 2 days prior (more on that later). The flat is in a great location and that is really the best part about it. The place is pretty dated and needs an entire paint job as there are many peeling and bubbling areas. It seems as the last paint job was done in haste no matter how often it is cleaned it will never get clean. the whole toilet situation there is crazy. the door can not be closed unless the toilet seat is lifted. it is just not possible. so every time you enter or leave you will need to lift the toilet seat!!!! if the door is left open, the paper roll becomes unreachable. from a hygienic standpoint there is no way to use the toilet, wash ones hands and then depart without lifting the toilet seat again. that was really awkward. The hallways to the place were pretty dirty. We were happy that they request a shoe free stay as that is preferred for us as well. we were extremely disappointed to not be able to check in at 3 as specified in the information listed about the apartment. my wife is training for a marathon and we selected the 3pm check in time as it would have allowed her time to train. however finding out 2 days before that there was a new time was pretty uncomfortable. we asked for a solution and as the check out time is 11am we felt that 4 hours were sufficient to have accommodated us. in the end she was unable to train as our meetings began at 5:30 that evening. as I specifically asked to have the time frame met it was a disappointment to not have more effort made to make it work for us. "i will find out when the cleaners leave" is not an actual plan of action. I reached out a couple of times hoping to have an answer by the time we landed. Instead the contact came late. as a result, we were left to carry our bags from café to café killing time before the check in. that was a pretty unsatisfactory start for us. We felt that a stay at a hotel would have been more convenient for us as we would have been able to have immediate answers or at least a place to leave our bags. Also- though it did not bother us much as we are city people, there is a very active and present train line that is heard very clearly and starts early in the am.
