Sandra was very quick to respond prior to my arrival. She was accommodating and allowed us an early check-in and somewhere to store bags before our departure to the airport. We greatly appreciated this extra accommodation.
Unfortunately that is where my positives must end. Upon arrival we found the bathtub full of standing dirty water. When we inquired we were told by a long term renter (Sandra was not on site) that there was an issue with the plumbing and we could use the bathroom upstairs. None of this has been communicated to us prior to arrival. The stairwell leading up to the top level is a very old, creaky, spiral staircase. It is also very small and precarious to climb.
Another downside to this apartment is there is a massive amount of clutter everywhere. Finally, Sandra also has a few pets in her living room. One of them is a bird. The other was a massively over fed squirrel. Yes, you’ve read that right, there is an extremely large squirrel in a cage in the living room. I found this quite shocking and to be honest rather disturbing. This is definitely one of the “You get what you pay for” Airbnbs. What it has going for it: It is very cheap and in a great location.
