My first bad experience at an Airbnb. The apartment has great potential and is in an ideal location, but poorly managed. It is in extremely bad shape and has clearly not been taken care of properly. It needs repairs, repainting, carpets need to be changed, furniture needs to be updated as everything is extremely worn out.
The worst part of my stay was the lack of cleanliness. We came to an apartment that was not clean. There was excessive hair, dust and bugs all over the place (bedsheet, sofa, floors, counters, etc.). There were other issues: bathtub was not draining at all, sofa and carpets were stained, oven did not work, no batteries in the TV remote. To be fair, the host did try to resolve some of the issues by offering a deep clean but the apartment requires much more work than that.
There are major problems with the building as well, though these are obviously beyond the control of the host. One of the neighbors smokes a lot of weed, to the point where the smell makes it suffocating to stay in the apartment. Expect this every 4-5 hours of the day. We raised the issue multiple times with building security but to no avail. The elevators at the building are a pain, expect long queues and waiting 10-15 minutes for one. Apparently the building is also not safe, with some shootings having taken place in the building recently.
Overall, I do not recommend staying at this property.
