The hosts are kind, helpful, and easy to communicate with. They are not living locally, but the brother of one of the hosts is and he checked in on us regularly. The apartment is quiet enough, affordable, in a great location, filled with plenty of amenities, and can sleep up to 8 people comfortably. Like other reviewers, I found this apartment to be clean, but somewhat shabby and very cluttered. The listing photos are outdated and do not accurately represent the overall feel of the space. There is also a piano and double bed in the living room, the layout of the furniture is quite different, and most of the surfaces, furniture, kitchen cabinets, etc. are covered or filled with assorted personal items, containers, and boxes that are not pictured. There are many drawers and closets throughout the apartment, but almost all are either filled or locked. The overall result is a large apartment that feels like it is sometimes (or was recently) lived in, but mostly used for storage. Some other guests found this vibe cozy and homey, but I found it unrelaxing, unwelcoming, and like I was intruding into a disorganized stranger's private space. If the listing's photos or description more accurately depicted or described the current state of the apartment, I would not have booked it. However, if none of that (or the shared entrance with multiple tenants living upstairs) bothers you, I can recommend staying here!
