Before you actually go into the unit, you have to go through a hallway and up the steps to the unit. Unfortunately, the presentation when entering the building was not very pleasant. The door that you entered was very very dirty, along with the hallways and stairs. That was not a good way to present the property. Once I entered the property, it was more or less the way it was on the photos. There was some concerns I had that I did address with the host initially because the door and lock on the master bedroom was totally broken and hanging off, the toilet seats were broken, the blinds in the bedroom were torn and broken once you opened the curtains. The fridge was good but the freezer needed to be cleaned as well. It was very quiet, with the exception of one night where someone was blasting the music until pass midnight. I contacted the host , who assured me that someone would handle it in which they did, and the music ceased. I feel that the host needs to inspect the unit prior to someone renting the space to ensure that the property is acceptable and in good shape. If there are things that the host is aware of, it would be admirable to inform the person renting it that they are aware of these issues, so that it does not appeared to be a deliberate neglect on the part of the host. All in all in was a good experience , but whether I would consider it again, it would depend on some of the concerns I mentioned prior, so possibly not. I hope this helps others to ask questions.
