There are a few major issues with this place that need to be fixed before the next guest can stay.
1) One of the windows in the room has no panel and the other has broken panels. I had to use bed sheets to cover them.
2) The windows are old and they have gaps through which cold air seeps in making the room colder than the rest of the apartment.
3) The hot air vent in the room is partially chocked, making this room much leas heated that rest of the apartment.
4) The wooden floor was stone cold.
5) the kitchen area, the fridge, and the apartment as a whole needs some fixing and a thorough cleaning.
6) The single blanket on the bed is too thin and not adequate for winter. Luckily there were three single beds in the room, so three blankets. I used them all to make it through the night.
7) The bathroom needs cleaning and repairs.
The most pressing issue was the bare window without the panel taking away any privacy, and how cold that room was in contrast to the rest of the apartment. They need to be addressed before that room is inhabitable again.
Pros:
1) Great location.
2) Relatively cheap considering the location.
3) John is welcoming and replies quickly to all questions via text. He was not physically present at the location.
