- PROs: Excellent location, communication with the host quick and effective. Cheap compared with all the other places in the area.
- CONs: The room is so small it is almost claustrophobic. The window shown in the picture does not open (blocked by AC) and it faces a wall so not helpful for some light or fresh air. If you travel with more than two backpacks, you will have no space for yourself. Under the bed there is some luggage stored ( belonging to the owner perhaps?) therefore our own luggage needed to stay around the bed (occupying the already tiny space available). All our stuff stayed packed for the 10 days of our stay. No hangers, no cupboards. Nothing for your own stuff. The sheets are clean, but the rest not so much. The house looks very tidy and "seems" clean, but it is not. We have been there during the cleaning of the house ( the other room rented in the apartment has been occupied by different guests during our 10 days stay so everytime the cleaner passed by to change the sheets etc.) and the cleaner was very superficial. The toilet and sink were cleaned with wet wipes and the shower never got cleaned by the lady (we did it ourselves). No vacuum cleaner has ever been used, so dust and hairs were all over the apartment and I cannot even imagine the status of those rugs. In less reachable spots of the house there was garbage piled up (pics included). She wet a mop and mopped the floors ( making the dust/hairs combination even worse).The lock is a real nightmare, it just does not work properly. We managed to lock the house struggling every time. This has been reported by all guests and we were promised it would have been fixed swiftly. Nobody ever came. Some other guests tired of the struggle would not even try to lock the door and we had to fear that anyone at any time could access the apartment freely (not locking the door properly, the flat is accessible just turning the door knob).
CONCLUSIONS: If you adapt easily and travel light the location and the price are excellent.
