We do not recommend staying with this host. First of all, the false advertising: THIS IS A 4th FLOOR WALK UP not a penthouse. If you like dragging your luggage up to the 4th floor of a steep staircase after walking 10 minutes uphill from the train, this place is for you. LONGGGGG house rules that wasn’t disclosed to us in the listing, including “DO NOT LIFT THE MESH DRAIN” in any place of the apartment (we later found out the hard way that he had an INFESTATION problem). When we got there, there was another long explanation of things we couldn’t do, and host really stressed that we shouldn’t spend much time in the bathroom. How is that for a “comfy” stay? Just go with hotels next time.
THE ROOM DOES NOT HAVE ANY WINDOW. I repeat, ventilation doesn’t exist. If you want, you can crack open the windows that open to the living room, no fresh air in an old apartment that reeked of insecticide and mildew. Please save yourself the trouble and get an actual hotel room. It’s not worth it.
