We were disappointed, although it looked like the photos, once you arrived at the apartment, there were some key elements that detracted from the experience.

The ability to sleep -- it was noisier than described and it was very bright in the morning -- many of the thin metal blinds did not go all the way to the window sill, including the kitchen which faced the public corridor.

The water pressure in the bathroom sink was very poor and the tub took 10 minutes to drain with residue left over and had very few towels.

We were surprised that the apartment was a former State Farm office which we realized as we walked up to the red front door - we had lived in the neighborhood and when we saw the red door, I remarked to my husband 'I think this was a State Farm office very recently' and there were still sales binders in the cabinets.

The host was very responsive when we had a question as well as very communicative prior to the rental. It was not the host, it was the apartment.
