Positives: The host was very quick to respond to every question we had and proactively let us know about a potential issue before we arrived. The apartment is charming: spacious, clean, lovely decor and a comfortable bed. The wifi worked well and the kitchen seemed well-equipped (although we ended up not using it).
Negatives: The apartment is on a very busy and noisy street/intersection; the sheer curtains don't block out street lights or noise and don't afford much privacy (one window in the living room has no curtain). Only 1 hand towel and 2 bath towels were provided for 2 guests. We were advised to bring our own washcloths. There were no bedside tables or dresser space in the bedroom, and no shelves or hooks in the bathroom. The bedroom heater stopped during the night and didn't provide adequate heat for the bathroom and kitchen.
While we liked the host, the apartment itself needs some attention.
