I thought a lot about what to say about my experience staying here.
To its credit it’s wonderfully located, and there is something quite charming about the place.
However the place is not really fit for living. It is very cold at night, there is only 90 seconds of hot water, and people do drugs on the door step.
The host is very well meaning, but does not have the organizational capacity to be a host. In the three months I stayed here the place was cleaned once, when it should have been cleaned 5 times. To be fair he did offer to compensate, and was apologetic. However, I find myself feeling like I was managing him - what at the beginning could just be simple miscommunication became a repetitive and tiring process.
This place has the potential to be charming, but it’s need to fixed and the management changed.
