KEY ISSUES:
1. Elevator was broken upon arrival- getting to the 3rd floor up steep stairs with luggage was not ideal
2. We received a confirmation for check in at 8am, and they switched it to 3pm the day we arrived. Unit was not clean so after all of our traveling, we had to wait around for 5 hours for the room to be ready
3. CHECK IN and entry is not smooth! Building requires 3 different codes. 1 for the front door, a second code for the next door past the mailboxes, and a third for the unit. Our unit itself has not 1, not 2, but 3 DIFFERENT LOCK BOXES next to the door, so it was frustrating trying to figure out which was which to first get in.
4. The access code we were given initially stopped working the second day, so we got locked out of the building and had to call to be given the correct code. Imagine if we didn't have our phones with us?
5. First night, a rental above us was blasting music late into the night, someone from the party even banged on our door at 11pm and ran. Which woke us up, disrupted our much needed sleep from all the travel, and then we spent another hour awake on the phone with the host / security to get this problem resolved. Side note, our whole floor constantly smelled like weed. This Airbnb was classy and beautiful but the building itself does not seem to be up to the same standard
6. The curtains for the floor to ceiling windows are white and thin so it was never completely dark. If you're someone who needs proper darkness to sleep well, you will not sleep well here.
7. The digital lock to lock the apartment door was always getting stuck. We had to fiddle with the handle for a minute or two every time we left just to get it to lock the door. We could never just easily lock up and leave.. got held up every time
Also note for the ladies! There is no full length mirror in here so if you need to see your wardrobe / outfits, you'll have to use your phone's front camera. Plan in advance
The Airbnb itself is beautiful and the location is amazing, but the host needs to work on the logistics side
