I don't like to write a bad review but I just don't understand how the host thought it was ok to enter the apartment without telling us while we were out! On the first day they arranged an appointment with a cooker repair engineer without notifying us and then told me when I answered the door "sorry we expected you to be out." On another occasion a young lady who also lives upstairs entered the apartment through a private staircase, (which up until then we assumed was a locked cupboard door) that leads direct into the living room, she came in while my dad was sleeping which gave him the shock of his life.
Unfortunately we felt unsafe as we had a young child with us and valuables in the apartment and it was a very uncomfortable stay.
They refunded us $60 on the first day after the first incident for the inconvenience of the cooker engineer but I would have preferred a peaceful stay instead of the money.
Also there is no lock on the bathroom, the cooker still doesn't work after the two hours of waiting for the engineer to finish and multiple times the door lock to enter the apartment did not work properly even after the batteries were changed! This stuff gets really annoying.
I personally won't be stopping here again but one of the hosts - Rick - was a nice guy and did try his best.
