Great - solid apartment with good accommodation

This apartment is very spacious and in a great location. There is a supermarket with a coffee/deli bar next door with the NICEST mom/daughter duo. It is quiet at night. However, this apartment is ready for a rehab… dirty curtains, munched up floorboards, dirty walls, peeling wallpaper.. The back patio had broken chairs, a rat trap and fresh animal poo. The front windows are totally covered by scaffolding and cloth. If you want to throw open the curtains and seize the day, you might stare directly at a scruffy, dusty worker on the scaffolding looking back at you so make sure you wear pajamas! We could overlook most of this… but upon arrival we were asked not to use the 2nd bathroom due to a plumbing issue. We told the host he was welcome to send in a plumber but he decided to wait until after our stay so we did not have use of a 2nd bathroom as advertised. I think it’s not terrible to rent an apartment in this condition, but I think the owner needs to be more truthful in his advertising. It would be wonderful with a quick paint job, plumbing fix, and a general quick rehab. We are now at a 2 star hotel nearby and it is much cleaner and more charming.
