Where to start? Both bathrooms in the apartment experienced significant flooding, which required intervention from contractors and the building. An uncontained and growing black mold outbreak in the primary bathroom rendered it unusable. The A/C leaks onto the balcony, which floods the balcony and in turn leaks to apartments below. Host revealed I had to empty a water bucket on the balcony every 4-6 hours only *after* I arrived, and lied about the internet speed (claiming 300 mbps) during my booking inquiry so that I would book. There were other listing misrepresentations, although not nearly as egregious.
This is an unfortunate review to have to write, especially because I’ve had such great experiences on this platform over the past 8 years. Never have I experienced something quite like this in all my years of traveling, both on and off airbnb. I do hope this review helps prevent other guests from having to experience these headaches.
