My husband and I rented this apartment for four weeks. We very much appreciated the host allowing us to get into the apartment early the first day, as our flight arrived in the morning. He gave us a tour of the apartment and provided helpful information about the area. The apartment was clean, in a convenient location, and the kitchen is well stocked with cooking equipment—perfect for someone who likes to cook. As we were there for an extended period, we asked that he arrange for some additional English-speaking cable stations. He accommodated our request (reluctantly), and we reimbursed him for the cost.
We did, however, have some issues that impacted our stay. The Airbnb listing advertised the apartment as 2 bedroom/2 bath. In fact, there was only one full bathroom. The other, in the master bedroom, did not have a toilet. The advertisement was misleading and the situation unacceptable. Had we known there was only one full bath, we would not have rented the apartment. We had invited some friends to visit during our stay, and sharing the one full bath was awkward. It also had an unpleasant smell, most likely from the sewer system, and the sink was so small it was barely usable. In addition, the sleep sofa in the second bedroom was suitable for one person, small for two.
The apartment is located on the 5th floor. The elevator was broken for most of the first two weeks of our stay. Obviously, this problem was beyond the host’s control. I have no idea how often this occurs and only include it as it is something to consider if you have a problem walking up/down approximately 100 steps.
We know the host wanted to be accommodating. But, unfortunately, this was not our best Airbnb experience.
