Our experience was very different than many of the reviews we read. We did read a couple that mentioned cockroaches and we experienced multiple in the bathroom.
We appreciated the a/c being left on for us and the keys being left for us early.
We were scared because the police threatened to bang down the door if we didn't open it at about 8 P.M. They received a call saying there was an overdose in this unit. We did not know if anyone else was behind the closed door leading to the rest of the apt. The only response to this problem I received from owner was " I have no idea" (via text).
Then at midnight the cops came back again and banged on door every ten minutes, but from our room we didn't hear them announce themselves so we didn't know who was pounding. We were very afraid. I tried to contact the host, but again she was fairly unresponsive. Maybe twenty minutes later she texted only that this was about the next door neighbor again. Finally the host went to her door and told the police she didn't need to let them in. At that point I met her very nice son and he explained why this was happening. I appreciated his honesty.
The small room we stayed in had no cover over the two light bulbs on the ceiling and they kept shorting out. I asked if a light bulb could be replaced. Five hours later she brought us a lamp.
