He will not rent apartments to those who cook meat and fish. The reason is the smell
The offer says that the owner rejects applicants for rent who cook meat or fish in advance. In addition, the advertisement indicated that the premises are “spacious”, well-lit and have a “spectacular view” from the windows.
