This is my very first negative review. Unfortunately I did not enjoy my stay in this property and it was so bad, I’ll probably steer clear of AIRBNB for a while.
The apartment is well located and has great views but that is about where it stops.
I feel the owners of the AIR BNB while very attentive and friendly have missed the point of this type of accommodations and neglected to consider the guests comfort.
The furnishing in the apartment are like those you may expect in a back packers.
1. AC does not work.
- please fix this or remove this statement from the advert.
2. Bathroom is tiny, it’s actually a squeeze to get in the shower and I’m a small person. There is no room in the bathroom to do make up etc.
- this could be counter acted if the owners were to add a small dressing table and mirror in the main bedroom.
3. Couch is a basic old click clack, unfortunately it has seen better days, it is not comfortable to sit in, as the foam is old and worn out additionally the webbing under neath it is broken.
- A proper fold out couch is needed.
4. The lack of the small dining table, I understand the intention is to dine at the kitchen bench, but the stools are very old and uncomfortable to sit at for any length of time.
-The living room is sizeable and a small dining table would be a great addition.
Due to the couch and stools being this way there is no comfortable seating.
There are additional small square ottomans provided but even these are broken and the webbing sunk.
5. No fly screens on windows. This is actually quite dangerous as a small child could fall three stories down. Even an adult gazing out could actually fall as I discovered.
6. Street noise, it is nearly impossible to sleep the street noise is intense and very loud. All night you can hear cars hooning, people talking etc on the street below. I was there over Christmas and New Years and haven’t had a full nights sleep due to heat and noise for over a week.
7. There a cracks in the roof and water damage on the ceiling, the front door is in very poor condition.
8. I had to go out and purchase a knife as none provided were even able to cut a tomato.
9. The bed is not very comfortable. It is rock hard. I went out and purchased an air mattress which was more comfortable.
- a mattress topper would be a great addition.
