We booked this Airbnb for a few reasons: 1) Central AC, 2) Combo washer/dyer (since our next airbnb wouldn't have one and we had a long journey) & 3) location.
The Central AC was broken and the host had a portable AC unit installed. However, the exhaust for the portable unit forced a window facing the street to remain open. This meant that smoke from the smokers downstairs entered the apartment at all times. I messaged the host twice about this and the only solution he gave was to use the window from 1 of the bedrooms which when you look out is a roof that many people have clearly used since there are debris and cigarette butts there and anyone can crawl into our bedroom at night or during the day while we are out. Coincidentally, someone showed up AFTER we checked out to repair the central AC. Is this true? Unsure. To offset the heat in the bedrooms, 1 bedroom had a standing fan and the other had a tiny propeller fan which barely cooled the bedroom. It was impossible to sleep with the heat and noise from downstairs and the upstairs neighbors.
Regarding the washer/dryer, it's not a dyer. It only washes so we had to hang our clothes throughout the humid apartment to try to get it to dry.
Throughout our 5 day stay, we found 11 cockroaches in the bathrooms.
Also, the shower in the 2nd bedroom was full of mold along the caulking.
Bathrooms were supplied with watered down hand soap.
2nd Bedroom King size bed didn't leave any room to actually open the shower door. Would've been better to have a smaller bed or a pocket sliding door so we could at least go into the shower freely. Instead we would have to jump over the bed.
Location was the only upside of this airbnb being so close to the metro and bus stops and more. However, I'm sure there are airbnbs with great location too that don't have all these issues.
