I’m not sure what I was expecting upon arriving at the apartment, but things just kept adding up to make it a less than enjoyable experience. However, the host was incredibly responsive so that is why I gave it 3 stars. The major thing I would like to point out, because I’m not sure if other guests have experienced this, is the overwhelming smell of burning tires/gasoline/chemical smell. It seemed like this was something that permeated through the whole building so I really can’t say it was the apartment itself, but it was incredibly overwhelming and we had small children with us. There was no way we could imagine “getting used to it” and trying to sleep, so we ended up canceling our reservation 30-45 min after our arrival. We contacted the host to let them know and they apologized and said it was because it was an older building. Again, having kids with us and not understanding what the smell was or where it was coming from, ultimately led to us canceling the rest of our stay.
