the location was central and accessible to many places. hosts were quick to reply.
however, cleanliness was a problem. the apartment reeked strongly of floor cleaner and was extremely soapy and sticky to touch. i had to wipe the floors with wet towels several times and found that it was actually extremely dirty (towels were black after), and the strong smell still persisted with some level of stickiness. cleaner had probably just used floor cleaner without cleaning them off. i'm normally not picky with my stays but the strong smells + residual chemicals made me uncomfortable, especially as i had an infant crawling all over the place.
