On the first evening of our stay there was an incident where the lock on the apartment door broke meaning we were locked out of the apartment. This was through no fault of our own as the lock had been damaged by the guests who had stayed there before us. Inside the apartment were our passports, work permits and VISAs, money and other personal belongings. The owner of the apartment refused to pay the fee for the locksmith to drill into the door leaving us with no choice but to pay the fee ourselves in order to regain access to our belongings. As young women travelling alone in an unfamiliar city we felt very unsafe and were very scared.
This apartment had no bedding on any of the beds - just a duvet thrown over. In all fairness, this is how the apartment appears on the listing but just be aware that this is how the beds are. We never met the hosts, and instead dealt with employees from the shop downstairs for the duration of our stay. The apartment did not have enough toilet paper and had definitely not been properly cleaned between the departure of the previous guests and our arrival. Yes, the apartment is cheap and can host a large group but what we saved in the cost of accommodation we ended up paying when we paid the locksmith fees. I would thoroughly recommend that you choose somewhere else for your stay.
