Not impressed.

The apartment is very small and in need of a thorough clean: Walls scuff marked, sofa full of stains, dust on all surfaces, carpet stained and in need of a deep clean. I couldnt get access to the parking area for 5 days and had ti chase people to help me. The ‘host’ never returned any message.
