1. You can expect a challenge getting in to the place safely.
2. You can expect to find the place to be much more worn that the pictures indicate. If you find the amount of mold in the shower that I did, you will begin to wonder how clean this place is, and whether it's safe to sit on the furniture.
3. You will wonder why they charge a $125 cleaning fee. It clearly doesn't do the next renter any good.
4. You will marvel just how great this place could be if the owner kept up the place and not let it go so long with some repair.
5. You can expect to seriously regret your decision to rent, if you pay anything over the regular rental fee. $140/night for a large flat is a bargain if you don't really care about the condition of the place. .If you pay more, you will likely have more regrets.
