It was clean and tidy

The night before the host called to say that the apartment I booked initially is not available and that he has more expensive one near the city centre .later I discovered that it's 2km away from city center.

Close to the city center. Everything was within a hand reach. Great value.

Everything was excellent

The location was good. The host presented the apartment well, and was all the time reachable by phone. When requested to provide some essential objects that were missing in the apartment (shower gel, toilet paper, ...) he responded by bringing them the day after.

The apartment was not sufficiently clean, and there was a lack of basic cooking equipment. I had the impression that money was saved on everything when it came to equipping the apartment: you could barely prepare a coffee and there was no chance to cook or fry something with the pots and pans provided, the water heater was small (fine for a single person but not for more), the fridge was small (but still OK), ... The terrace was unusable because of dirt. The flat itself was not super clean. The host did not specify check-out time and called me to tell me that he prefers when people check in early in the morning. He kept changing the agreement on where and when I need to take the keys, did not want to come to check if all was OK, but did not want me to leave the keys there. In the end he asked me to take the keys to the company of his wife and give it to her by driving through a zone closed for traffic in a city I never visited before. It was too much to ask from a person you do not know, especially a guest.
