Great location, apartment needs an update

Location is amazing. Great cafes and restaurants nearby. Easy access to Swarthmore college and SEPTA. Communication and check-in with host was difficult. We didn't get the door code until after our check-in time. The One-Portal did not update. The phone number listed for host on the VRBO portal was not accurate. The photos are the apartment, but they seem to have been staged and enhanced with studio lighting of some sort. It looks like a very bright apartment, but it is very dark. Upkeep of parts of the apartment (broken window) furniture falling apart, door missing doorknob etc. could be improved. All of the guests in our group felt like this apartment was college housing. The location and the number of bedrooms are the big advantages of this rental.
