I am going to be as honest and transparent as I can be because that’s what reviews are for. My family and I were supposed to stay for 4 days but we decided we needed to change it to 1 night since this place was not exactly what we expected. I will list pros and cons:
Pros:
-Pretty responsive host, very sweet in the beginning. Accommodated our reservation change even though there was initial push back(she stated it was not enough time for the cleaners to come in so I understand the frustration)
-Perfect location, right by the metro, shops and city. Very easy to get around without a car!
-very nice modern bathroom and ok bedrooms
Cons:
-biggest one is the kitchen and the main reason we left. Our family choose Airbnb route because we love to cook. Kitchen does not really look like what you see in the pictures. The are grease stains all over the wall above and to the side of the stove. The stove was cracked and rusted at the top and buttons were brown. Appliances were outdated and tanning. There was foil on the wall where I believe the router was. The back wall of the kitchen had exposed tubing. Inside the cabinets were dusty and unorganized. Over all the kitchen was not clean and was dingy.
-beds were not that comfortable, more like cots.
-doors are a little tricky. Do not attempt to use the room door keys, my dad’s stuff almost got locked in the first bedroom to the left when you walk in and we had to jimmy the door a little even with the key just to open.
-when I explained to the host my family and I were not happy with what we saw and that we would like to leave in the morning she was not happy about that and tried to get us to stay until Friday instead of leaving Thursday and claimed host are not obligated to alter reservations which I am well aware of. If you put out a listing state exactly what the guest will expect. It’s an okay place with potential to be even better but stating that you are waiting for winter to create updates and saying grease stain were difficult to get out is not an excuse, use paint or better cleaning supplies. Overall it’s a ok place if you do not plan on using the kitchen and want a place to explore the city.
