After staying at many Airbnb’s there is a certain standard you expect and unfortunately this did not meet that. Here are the issues that my friend and I experienced with this location.
First off this seems to be a rented property that just the host maintains. The host is stated as Mat and Pascal but then there is another individual listed as Lola. This is semi confusing but not really a huge deal in relation to the listing. The problem we did have were pretty straight forward and if the host or property owner actually took the time to maintain the details it probably would be fine.
1. The bathroom shower had major drainage issues. It would hold water as soon as you turned it on. I’m sorry but this is probably one of the major issues because that is not sanitary. Obviously a lack of maintenance but if the place is being cleaned after every person staying this should of been noticed before we got there.
2. Our internet was spotty if it even worked at all the entire time we were there. This meant that the Netflix and other Roku apps did not work at all. The days we were there a snowstorm hit so having some TV while indoors would of been nice. I contacted the host about this and they said they were getting it fixed but nothing was done. If you are international traveler I think you can see how this is an issue.
3. There were no hand towels or paper towels. So cleaning up after yourself including either going to the market and buying these items or using the large bath towels they had. Frankly just another issue that could easily be fixed.
4. There is a giant trash bag in this tiny trash can in the kitchen. Honestly I think they used this for aesthetics but really just not functional.
5. There is no dish scrubber for washing your dishes which they say to do before you leave.
6. When we did our dishes apparently the dishwasher is broken as it leaked. We cleaned up what we could but really if you expect people to clean up after themselves at least provide the tools needed.
7. The lighting in the bathroom and bedrooms is sooooo dim. If you are a person who likes to get ready for you evening plan on doing it with very little light. As a couple girls we felt like we were doing our makeup and hair in the dark. We kept having to go back and fourth in the hallway light to make sure we could see everything even. In general not the biggest deal but just really annoying. Lighting is obviously for ambiance and not functionality.
9. And finally as I mentioned before there was a snowstorm that hit this weekend. Easily almost 24inches of snow. In order to get into the location there are metal steps into the building. No one cleared these steps at all during our stay. There was no salt put down either. Basically we had to walk down iced over stairs and through several snow piles just to get to the sidewalk.
Overall just disappointed with this listing. It was promising at first but everything mentioned just turned into annoyances as we stayed longer. I really hope they take this items into consideration and make changes.
