Almost all the guests enjoy their stay because of this apartment with comfortable facilities. Recently, the tenant felt that the mattress was uncomfortable. We were also very puzzled. After we found that the mattress was turned over, the silicone cushion was facing down and the back of the bed was facing up, causing discomfort. We are very sorry! Guests can use the whole apartment without sharing any space with other guests, including private bathroom, big kitchen, and bedroom. As an Airbnb guest and host, I understand you needs and concerns during your trip abroad. So, please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions in this apartment.
