That this property is located in an old warehouse conversion and not a gleaming new apartment complex does little to excuse the many problems that I encountered during my two day stay here in early March. Though I arrived at the scheduled time to deposit my luggage whilst the cleaner busied themselves around the apartment, what I encountered when I returned made me reconsider whether I’d imagined ever seeing her there or if she was a heat mirage. Four of the five dining chairs were covered in food crumbs, as was the floor under the table; I also found bacon on the floor; plus, the floors themselves were sticky, as though “someone had been having a party”, to quote the cleaner, who also managed to leave spilled milk on the floor at the front door after leaving. It was only then that I managed to discover that the garbage bin was full and there were cigarette butts visible on the surface - an interesting addition considering there is no balcony, no outdoor space and no windows allowing for cross ventilation of any kind (only skylights). The apartment smelled as you can imagine as a result, if not of stale air then of the cleaning products used to mask it - though luckily there are some scented candles provided. In addition to those, there’s an interesting assortment of items left out at random for your consideration: a tin of soup, a half emptied bottle of Stoli, and a jar of sealant were three of my favourites. I’ve stayed in eight years worth of Airbnb’s that are clearly residential dwellings and not dedicated full-time rental properties, but I’ve never seen such an curiously ill considered offering of junk left in the wake of the owner’s evidently harried departure. There were also problems with the A/C, the remote for which was unresponsive to every command (this was not a matter of refreshing the batteries), resulting in warm air being blown about an already poorly ventilated and stifling apartment that was uninhabitable during the height of the day. The throws on the couch could do with a wash, as could the walls of shower and the floors of the laundry. I could go on but I’d be giving this property more of my time, money and effort than I’ve already forked out. It’s worth noting that you’ll deal with a property management firm, and not the owner themselves (also worth noting: I’ve never left a review like this). They’re helpful enough, refunded my cleaning fee and sent a cleaner the following day after I registered my complaints on the first night. A lot of their justification for these issues comes down to the fact that, yes, the building is old - and that’s great, but I’ve stayed in buildings from the 17th century more adequately equipped than this. Perhaps owing to its age and general condition, you’ll hear people returning home at all hours of the night and morning, even knocking on your door...
