We stayed at Irina's place for one night and were extremely disappointed. I have to preface by saying I've stayed in only about 10-15 Airbnb's, but have always had pleasant experiences. This was certainly the exception.
First, I'll confirm and validate what other have expressed:
1. THE SPACE IS VERY SMALL - While correctly listed as a "studio", it should be noted in the description that it is only about 250 sq. ft. The notion that this space can comfortably accommodate 4 people I find to be misleading. It physically can, but not comfortably.
2. THE WALLS ARE PAPER THIN - We heard EVERYTHING going on next door. Coughs, walking, light switches, everything. This meant we were ever conscience that the neighbor could also hear everything we're doing, and felt obligated to keep our conversations to a loud whisper.
3. NO T.V AND SLOW INTERNET - The T.V. may/may not matter, but the internet was frustrating as it did not allow for any sort of media (steaming video, music, email, social media, etc.) Which was probably good as the noise would have resulted in the neighbor banging on the wall as numerous others have pointed out.
Now, for the much larger problems that we specifically encountered:
1. SOMEONE UNLOCKED AND WALKED IN THE ROOM UNANNOUNCED - at about 9:30am (Check out is at 11am) we received a knock on the door, followed quickly (5 seconds later) by a key unlocking the door, and a woman walking in. This may have been Irina, I don't know; she turned around and left.
2. THE AIR CONDITIONING DID NOT WORK - The A/C is located exactly 1 foot from the bed and is a hotel-style, under-window unit. When running, it made an excruciatingly loud noise that sounded best described as gravel in a clothes dryer. The outside temp was in the 40's but the apartment still felt extremely stuffy with no effective way to circulate air. Note the windows do not open, and the handles actually look like they've been broken by others trying to open them. We admittedly prefer to sleep on the colder side, but would imagine this being unbearable for anyone in the warmer months.
3. HIT-OR-MISS PARKING/STRICT CHECK-OUT - When we arrived, the only parking space available was the space we were instructed specifically not to park in. We reached out to Irina for further instructions, she never responded. After about 15 minutes, another car left and we were able to take one of the seemingly 4 spots available. Had this not happened, we felt we were on our own. When preparing to leave, the cleaning crew was outside our door at 10:55 waiting on us. Created a general uncomfortable and rushed feeling.
TL;DR - The place is extremely overpriced for the size and amenities, but is in nice part of the city. Because of the fear of the neighbor knocking on the wall, or someone walking in, we did not feel comfortable or welcome. Broken A/C made for a miserable night sleep, followed by feeling rushed out. ABSOLUTELY would not recommend this place to anyone seeking privacy, comfort, or affordability.
