I was very excited about this Airbnb and booked it months in advance. Upon arriving, everything is about what you would expect (minus huge water stains on the ceiling and general disrepair). Within the first few hours, there were at least four things that broke in the apartment that we were not able to fix. Most importantly, the property did not have a functioning door. It would jam and leave us unable to open it from the outside or the inside, leaving us stranded struggling with it for hours. The host was aware of this issue and left a spoon outside to jimmy the door when it got stuck. Having to use a spoon to open the door and a lock that works only some of the time can put many travelers, especially foreign females ones, at risk. Not to mention the fact that the toilet is located outside the broken door, so it was a struggle to even use the facilities. The host was unable to fix this issue which led us to feeling unsafe and the apartment uninhabitable. We cancelled our reservation. Petra was a good communicator and timely with responses, but lacked empathy and understanding when her apartment did not live up to its advertising. If you plan to book this property, all I can say is good luck. The amazing location and low price is not worth the hassle.
Also, the apartment smelled of cigarette smoke so this is not an ideal non- smoking apartment.
