First, I need to say that the communication with the host was great. They responded quickly to any questions and gave us a much appreciated overview of the area when we arrived. The location was also good with many restaurants, bakeries, fruit/veggie/meat stores very close by.Overall, the apartment wasn't too bad but it was definitely not worth the price and the high ratings it has.A few of the issues were that the apartment had an older, cluttered feeling to it. There was a lot of stuff in it and it had the feeling like it was lived in but the owners had just left for a few days. It was not real obvious from the pictures but there was almost no natural light in any of the rooms. The one bedroom that had a bit of light was from the enclosed entrance/parking area. There was not one window that just opened up to look directly outside. In the kitchen there were some towels to dry hands/dishes but the only things to scrub the dishes with were some very well used sponges. Again, it was mostly ok but for the price we paid we expected a much better quality apartment.
