I was not surprised to read the review below mine regarding the dirty apartment, as our experience was the same. It was disgusting to pull dishes and bowls out of the cabinet to find food smeared on them -- not just baked-on food from a dishwasher, either. The bathroom sink had not been cleaned at all, the shower still had hair all over the tub, the bedroom floor was filled with dust and dirt, and the chemical air fresheners smelled awful. The second sofa bed also was not adequately prepared for use. The downstairs neighbors argued loudly outside our door very late the first night, and the upstairs neighbors stomped overhead early in the morning.

Also based on past reviews, it seems like the kitchen is now better stocked with basic cooking equipment, so that was nice. It was also nice having new flooring, Wi-Fi, easy access to the unit for checkin, and a dedicated parking spot. And the location is very convenient if you have a car.

Based on all the great reviews earlier on, it seems like the hosts just need to find a better cleaning service and/or have a local onsite manager to keep up with maintenance issues.
