Nov 4, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Worst experience ever I urge you to not book this place, it’s located in a hideous building. Worst part was that the host took my deposit and then the code to the apartment never worked. I had to go and get a hotel for the remainder of my trip. Please to anyone looking to book here, spend a little bit more and never book with Richard Li. ##### rajkaran r.
