Overall, I enjoyed my stay. The host is very responsive, thank you again for the early check-in. The apartment is as described on the pics: clean, functional & cozy with some nice touches. I especially liked the modern bathroom. While bathroom and kitchen area are refurbished, furniture inside the bedroom and living room is old and rather on the cheap side.
I wouldn’t return, as the apartment is located inside a dirty & smelly building complex. Every single time I walked through the communal area, the smell put me off. Also, the check- in procedure could be improved: Keys need to be collected from a convenience store, which is about 20 walking minutes away from the apartment, and can be annoying when you’re travelling with luggage. A lockbox would be a much easier option. In addition to that, even 5 days after c/o I’m still waiting on my security deposit to be returned.
