Overall, this was a well-designed space, and the host is the most responsive Airbnb host I’ve encountered. BUT there are nevertheless some severe issues with the space (Bedbugs, poor WiFi, clogged drain). Details below.
Pros:
1) The host genuinely cares about helping his guests & is extremely responsive. Crystal clear communications about checkin & throughout the stay.
2) Very convenient location
Cons:
1) extremely poor WiFi connection in room 1. Basically unusable. You have to stand outside in the common area if you want to get online.
2) Bedbugs in the bed. Sam helped me switch rooms, did a deep clean of the room, and I had no problems when I moved back, but there should have been no bugs in the first place.
3) When I switched rooms, the drain was so clogged in the other room (5) that water would spill out of the shower into the room, even though I was showering as fast as I could. Gross drain shower water would pool around my feet. The cleaning lady apparently came, acknowledged that the drain was slow, but did nothing about it. I was told that the drain albeit slow was “fine for showering,” which it clearly was not.
