Unfortunately, I can’t recommend staying at this apartment until some changed are made. The check in process requires you to download a third party app, upload ID and personal data, and then pick up the keys about a half mile uphill from the unit. This is a bit of a headache with bags for picking up and returning the keys.
The unit itself needs some work. The couch is sagging in places and is very uncomfortable, which is unfortunate as it’s the only place to sit. There is no coffee table or dining area, so you’ll have to eat standing up in the kitchen or on the floor. There’s no rug in the apartment, so sitting on the floor isn’t very comfortable either.
The bathroom was somewhat untidy with other people’s hair tangled in the decorative fixtures on the wall, and the pans in the kitchen were scratched and peeling.
On a positive note, the host was very kind and responsive when I had issues with the Keycafe app. The location of the Airbnb is steps away from a ton of great bars and restaurants, and while a bit noisy at times, wasn’t a big issue.
Finally, I think the host might want to consider investing in a window AC unit. We were there when the temperature spiked above 90 and it was cooler outside the apartment than in it with the fans on.
