A/C was not working and some updates are definitely needed
The apartment is in a wonderful location and is spacious. However, during our entire stay (5 nights in August), the A/C did not work (we were in contact with the hosts, but it was not repaired while we were there). If there had been insect screens on the large window in the living room, it would have been possible to sleep with an open window, but the options were having mosquitos buzz in your ear or dealing with the heat as best as possible...
Though the apartment is quite dated. For example, the kitchen cabinets are old and completely misaligned (so when you open a cabinet or drawer, you need to move it back into place to be able to properly close it again), you have to hold down the button of the electric water kettle for it to work (if you don't hold it down, it pops right back up), etc. At least the shower hose was repaired during our stay (it was leaking and at some point ripped completely during our visit - so I will give them that, they fixed the hose, otherwise there would have been no way to cool off...). On the surface, the apartment seems clean, but if you take a closer look (e.g. at the fridge, the cabinets (finger prints/smears) or the kitchen sink splash guard, etc. it is clear that it has not been "deep cleaned" in a while.
I personally would not stay here again despite the excellent location right in the center of town, because I just didn't feel comfortable being there (in terms of temperature and the fact that a dated home feels unclean, no matter how thoroughly you clean it). The fact that the windows in the kitchen and bedroom are extremely small (i.e. the place is quite dark) doesn't help to make the home feel any "cozier". Also, as it is a street level apartment, it does get quite noisy for whoever is sleeping in the living room (which personally doesn't bother me, but may be a minus for others).
