Pros: the neighbohood is wonderful and the apartment is spacious and quiet.

Cons: the host does little to prepare the premises for guests. there are no welcome instructions (wifi? garbage? thermostat controls?) and no instructions for departure. there is no place to unpack or even organize your own stuff -- no drawers, closets or cabinets are cleared out. not even a single shelf. lastly, the refrigerator happened to be broken during my stay, which can happen to anyone. in this case though, the host knew it was broken and failed to check that it had been repaired. for the duration of my stay then I lived with rancid oders and no way to even chill a glass of water.
