Upon entering for the first time, I wasn’t sure how to use the lock on the door. No instructions were given. Then once I entered the building, I had no idea where the apartment was. I ended up climbing three sets steep stairs to locate the apt. Description does not talk about the very steep stairs outside the building, or the three sets of steep stairs, going up to the apartment. As a woman alone, I had a very difficult time carrying my suitcase up all of those stairs. The neighborhood seemed quiet, but the building itself was very sketchy. Immediately upon walking in, it was dirty, it smelled, and it was in very bad condition. Once I let myself into the apartment upstairs, the apt itself was beautiful. My only issue inside the apt was the bathroom. First of all, there is no window covering on the window that is over the shower. I could see outside there was a window directly adjacent to the apt. I had to use scotch tape and a brown paper bag to cover the window for my privacy. Next, I had no hot water in the shower upon my arrival or the next day. But once I messaged the host, it was fixed before I returned later that evening. And last, the floor in the shower is extremely slick. The first time I stepped in, I almost fell. I had to put a towel on the floor of the shower while I was showering for the entire week, so I would not fall down. Overall, my stay was good, and I would most likely stay again, providing the bathroom issues were addressed. Beds are very comfortable.
