So this place is undeniably a good value and centrally located if you’re interested in the most popular/tourist-focused parts of the city, many of which are easily walkable. I ended up extending my stay a night because I wanted to see more of this incredible city and that seemed like less of a hassle than finding another place for one night. But I wasn't happy with this apartment, and would say it's a buyer-beware type of deal, especially given that there is no shortage of other options.
First off, while the street noise isn't something the hosts have any control over, there's also a large amount of city light that floods into the bedroom. There are these old, rather tattered blinds that barely make a dent, and no curtains. So you definitely want to bring one of those sleeping mask things if you have one.

Second, there weren't any soap pumps by the kitchen or bathroom sinks. Instead, there was just one of those refill bottles in the bathroom. Nor was there shower soap/body wash. On one shower wall was a dispenser that read SHAMPOO / CONDITIONER / SHAMPOO, with the first shampoo compartment empty. Huh? On another shower wall were the remnants of an old dispenser, or the wall mount at least, complete with rusty screws. The screws were screwed in so they didn't pose a threat or anything but again... just weird and half-assed. "I will notify housekeeping now" said the hosts after I told them about the body wash/soap situation. I said, “I'm about to be gone for the whole day so they're welcome to come in and address that, or just leave it at front desk for me to pick up. Whatever's easier and please just let me know.” I never heard back and no soap and/or body wash ever materialized.

The main living space's biggest light was also burned out. Or at least I think it was burned out, since nothing happened when I flipped the wall switch. I couldn't tell for sure, though, because there was no pullchain leading into the socket on the fan which read 'LIGHT.' So maybe that was switched the wrong way, but there was no way to fix it. In the bedroom, meanwhile, both pullchains on that fan were technically intact but one was torn off halfway, so even I -- a tall man! -- couldn't yank it without getting up on the bed. (As of when I’m typing this, the photos advertising the apartment show the fan with both pullchains fully intact, which isn’t the case at the moment.)

Final straw: I tried to do laundry my last night. The washing machine was very busted. It would fill the tub with some water, soaking my clothes, but not do anything after that on either the normal or quick-wash settings. I again messaged the hosts. Another quick, seemingly-dutiful response: It just takes awhile to get going, they said, and I should let them know if it still wasn’t working after waiting 10 minutes. Cool. I waited. Still nothing. I messaged them again explaining that no, it really appeared to be broken. They were signed off for the night and didn’t respond to a text or call. At this point I thought I was sorta screwed, with my dirty clothes soaked and no way to clean them before the checkout in the morning. At the last minute I tried the rinse/spin setting and that one worked. But it’s really, really crappy customer service to say “Let me know if the washer still isn’t working in 10 minutes” and then ghost for the night.

There were just all these weird, little things wrong with the apartment, and I found it all pretty frustrating.
