when we entered the apartment, the fire/smoke/CO sensor was beeping non stop. I contacted the hosts and asked to have this fixed. I was contacted about 6 hours later, and notified that someone "might come the next day". how am I supposed to sleep with an alarm going off every minute? I had to disconnect the alarm, leaving the apartment without any detector working. very unsafe!
the apartment smelled like cigarettes! very difficult to breathe, especially when you have asthma.
in general, the apartment could use major cleaning, especially the floor.
also, the bed was very soft, very uncomfortable.
on the plus side, the location is very good, very close to the late, public transport, and the museum of science and industry.
