Alojamiento central

The shower was clean but a bit mouldy. The area is a bit noisy until late because with direct access to the street. I would improve for this reason the door lock for guest safety.It is currently just a simple key

It was a bit noisy.

The host communicates in Spanish, or uses Google Translation for the last minute message. I'd to keep checking WhatsApp for a reply as to how to get in - whether someone to meet/provide the key or otherwise - from the Airport up to when Uber dropped me off. I even had to have the Uber driver call his # but the driver advised the # was not in service & left. I finally got a message that the key was in a lockbox. The interior frame of the door where the lock is was broken & poorly repaired, making a poor 2nd impression and not feeling very safe, the entrance threshold piece was loose, and the immediate entrance's paint was chipped/peeled off. The apartment is very cold, there's a portable heater that I keep with me wherever I move around, definitely by my bedside at night and the bathroom in the morning. The apartment was rundown, there were padlocks under the mattress where the bedframe was. On the 2nd evening of my stay, there was a small dead cockroach by the kettle, which I did not raise an issue. On the 4th evening (New Year's Eve), a mid-size live cockroach was crawling near the kitchen sink, I'd no choice but to pour detergent on it, it proceeded to crawl out of the pool of detergent, and I continued to pour some more detergent and it eventually passed out. I was to boil some water & make an instant noodle but there was no bowl, my appetite was diminished by the sight of a live cockroach. I contacted Booking but the site has an Auto Reply direct me to contact the host. I did so & eventually got a response and wanted to leave that evening but after some loss in translation WhatsApp messages, he advised the "platform" would not allow a last-minute refund for the one-day early checkout. I kept trying Booking's site where the "Manage Booking" button is to do the early checkout but it is not responsive.
