That's true the first impression when you arrive is not good. I mean, the outside. Then you climb few stairs and wonder if you're not in the wrong place. But, after that, the flat is great, well furnished, neat, sheets are clean, and freshly ironed. Same as the pictures.

However, there are a few little things that can be disappointing if you discover them only at your check in.

1st, the rooms: I rented it with my business partner, and we are both single. The rooms are very closed. So closed actually, that my partner had to walk through my room (that is next to the living room) to reach his. This kinda promiscuity is not very cool if you want your bf/gf to sleep over, or if you're a couple traveling with your child. In addition, the 2nd one is narrower than the 1st and doesn't have any a/c or fan.

2nd, the bathroom: it seems that the fan is not working well. In result, a smell of humidity every morning, even if you leave it on all night long :(

3rd, the fridge: it seems it's something wanted by the owner, but when you've just had 8 hours flight+cab driving, to be forced to walk out in the middle of the night to grab some food is a bit annoying. That's a point that could be improved for the next time.

4th, the smell of the kitchen below: we badly discovered that when the 2nd floor is cooking, the smell just arrive in the 2nd bedroom (that doesn't have any fan, remember). A chance the hosts just cooked once!

5th, the refund and moving back: that was the very bad point that made me mad, compared to the others. Due to Irene, we were forced to move our flights. It wasn't something voluntary planned, and we arrived on monday rather than on saturday. We asked the owner if we could move back our rent cause of that. She declined. So we asked a refund to AirBnB. Unfortunately, a refund cannot be done, cause of the owner policy to refund only if there is a whole week unused. We felt trapped on that point.

After all that, Annette was very welcoming and she was there each time we needed. The neighborhood is very great, and the overall experience was very good, but all these little points can be really annoying for a trip, above all when you pay that price. Nothing really bad, actually, but rooms for improvement ;)
