Unfortunately, this has been my worst experience on Airbnb so far. Although I had no misconceptions about the room's modest size or general looks, I felt that the experience I had was not worth what I paid for in the slightest. Upon first glance, the place is small and OK. The room I was in is clean but could use some touches like a floor lamp or something (right now she has a nearly-blue ceiling light that makes the room look much more dreary than the pictures would suggest).

My first annoyance came when Luba had the electricity cut for hours while I was trying to get some work done on the internet without letting me know. After that, I had left for a few hours to do some shopping, and then upon returning in the afternoon for a quick nap, I came back to find some men in my room doing work on the bathroom. I felt uncomfortable with people being in my room without my consent, and was annoyed that I would not be able to rest. When I came back that evening, the bathroom sink was missing and she told me I would no longer be able to use the private bathroom. My room was priced a little higher than the others due to the private bathroom, so I was angry that the amenities promised in the listing were not actually usable or even present-- I felt like this was place was a rip-off despite its relatively low price point.

I understand that maintenance must be done from time to time, and I tried to be as understanding as possible, considering I work at a hostel and know how tough it can be to manage things like this sometimes-- however Luba's lack of respect for other's privacy and overall management choices are questionable.

There are other, much better (and cheaper!) listings that are nearby to this one that I would rather recommend to others.
