Off the bat, I will say that the hosts were really kind and helpful. The apartment was a bit sparse and chilly. The temperature is controlled off-site, so I had to contact the hosts – they were able to get back to me the next morning and adjust the heat. Later in the week, I experienced a domestic disturbance in the apartment downstairs – a man was screaming at the occupants (a woman and a child) and banging violently on the door very late at night for a long time. Because there is only one tight hallway exiting and entering the building, I was unable to leave the apartment that night since the man was there for quite some time and I was a single woman staying here. This isn't the fault of the hosts, but I felt unsafe and decided to cancel the rest of my stay, and the host graciously allowed me a refund.
With that said, on the first day when I was being dropped off at this apartment, my friend told me that this was not the safest neighborhood. I'm not from here, but I read some of the other reviews and it sounds like they might have experienced some safety issues as well. So take that into consideration when booking this place.
