I booked this room so that I have time alone to finish up a project in the evening. I arrived at 8:30 pm and turned on the heater. The room is very big and got cold very quickly.
I turned it to 25 degrees and waited for an hour. The heater didn't warm up and as a result, the room remained cold. I was wearing extra layers of clothes and was unable to work. I contacted Alin at 9:30 he answered at 10:30.
The room was way below 20 degrees. Alin asked me to "open the square box around the round button, pull the frame towards you gently so it reveals the pin that prevents the heating to heat more". I didn't open it because it was hard to take it out and I didn't want to break it.
It was 11 degrees outside. I spent over 30 minutes discussing with Alin who insisted that the heater work. I was there and it was working I wouldn't have spent my time talking to him or with Airbnb. I needed the time to finish my work.
Even though Alin apologized at the end I wish the listing mentioned the restriction on the heating so that I would have brought more clothes.
I was at another Airbnb before this and the heater worked normally. I only needed 20 degrees in the room.
