The pictures made this property look nicer than it was. It wasn't terrible, but the AC unit made strange noises all night that woke me up consistently. The bathroom smelled like something was rotting or moldy. There was hand soap in the shower - no shampoo/body wash. The wood on the countertops was beat up. There were cleaning supplies & trash stuffed in the cabinets that were shown for use as a closet. I could not store my things in them.
Communication with the host was very strange. They told me I owed them twice the amount of taxes that was required for my stay. I pointed out the error and asked for clarification. They took a day or so to respond, then told me I was correct about the amount of taxes I had to pay. They asked me to put the cash in the lock box in the middle of the day. I had already left the apartment to explore other cities for the day & wasn't going to be back to put the money in the box until that night. They got very rude & demanding with me when the money wasn't in the box the same day. I explained that I was away from the apartment & assured I would of course pay the tax. I ended up sending them the money via Revolut (European Zelle). They became friendly again.
When I was preparing to check out, I messaged them multiple times for check out instructions. They ignored me. So I just cleaned up, locked up, and left the key in the lockbox where I found it.
Great location, amazing views, safe. Not a bad stay... but I wouldn't book it again!
