4/10 Poor

Disliked: Cleanliness

Nice location

The place was in a very central and good location. It was quiet and spacious. There was two TV's, netfli x and all needed appliances. However, the place was a bit worn out and not that clean. The bed sheets smelled parfymed and bit musty. Some stuff didn't work at all. When booking a place from this website, would assume stuff to work.

The apartment was comfortable and convenient. Host was accomodating and added fresh flowers from her garden. The halls, elevator, and hot water (all building, not host issues) left a lot to be desired.
