The place is in a great location with the metro right outside the door, but it’s also on the second floor above a bar that stays open very late which rowdy people. It’s extremely noisy late at night all week long and the walls are thin which doesn’t help buffer the noise out.
The main bedroom smells mildewy/smokey–opening the windows didn’t help and the windows face the bar and metro so you have heavy traffic with constant eye contact. The second bedroom was better smell wise.
For the second bedroom, the light fixture was hanging off the wall, we had to reattach it; the curtain had a similar situation. Many little things barely hanging on.
The living room has a full size pull out bed which has the bedsheets attached already. We found an extra blanket in the second bedroom but it was dirty with white stains…this is the only blanket provided for the couch (aside from a little throw blanket).
Also, no toiletries were provided which is upsetting considering Airbnbs should be similar to hotels in that respect, especially if charging a hefty price. No shampoo, no body wash, not even hand soap in the 1.5 bathrooms, and only 2 little toilet papers were provided (we searched for more but didn’t find any so we bought some and left the remaining rolls there).
You might also need to buy your own laundry detergent because the host doesn’t provide that either. We bought a detergent bottle and left the remaining (3/4 bottle) there. Also, there is no actual clothes dryer, just heating rods for clothes.
Although the place can somewhat accommodate 6 individuals, the hot water runs out after 20-30 minutes and takes hours to heat up again.
For 4 days out of our 5 days, we had no working internet which was a major inconvenience. The host did reimburse us $97 for that but that was nothing when considering that my partner had to work online during some nights/early mornings and was unable to due to us having no accessible internet.
