The host asked us to change to a different apartment about a week before arrival. I said no. We wanted the one we booked. Then about 2 days before arrival he wrote back to say "either change apartments or you can cancel and get a refund". At that point there was nothing else left, so we were effectively forced into accepting this other apartment (the one reviewed here). He was rude and never really apologised for this. So, I wouldn't trust this host... The apartment was basically a 1bed turned into a 2 bed. The front door opens into one of the bedrooms. no one can go in or out without going through one of the bedrooms. There is no kitchen. There is no living room. The walls are thin so you can hear everything going on in the building. On the positive side, the bathroom was nice. The place was clean. Sheets and towels nice and clean. it was relatively well maintained. Checking in and out super easy. No keys required.
