9.4/10 Exceptional! (3 reviews)
"5 stars for the host, but 1 star for the building itself. The apartment itself was fine but could not keep out the smell of the building where there's clearly a lot smoking. The host was very accommodating however and is clearly trying her best to make this a nice place to stay."
