Chose this place due to clean looking photos and location for 2 weeks. This used to be my old street so that’s also why. At first it looked really clean, but then the shower was clogged the sink was clogged and leaking underneath with a plastic container catching the drip water. Smelled moldy in the bathroom. There was dust all over the sheets, pillow, above the bed, on the countertop, hard pink stain on one of the pillows.
i think someone cleaned a few days or a week before i came and so they didn’t bother bringing a cleaner again, and clearly someone forgot to take care of all the clogging and leakage since it is obvious they knew, if a container is catching the water. 😹
I have never had such a bad allergic reaction in my life the minute i got into the bed i realized all the dust everywhere. I only have allergies to dust and dust mites and never knew until recently when i took an allergy test. So to have rashes all over my body and not able to breathe through my nose or see clearly was truly a nightmare.
Didn’t sleep at all the first few days until finally they send a cleaning lady who also said “wow it literally smells like dust”. Couldn’t hang my towels because towel dryer/hanger is dirty and sticky so i used the hangers in the closet. There were like 6 big gnats flying around a dead one of the counter and i saw tiny hairs everywhere even stuck to the bathroom door…
They sent a handyman twice because the first day he didnt come and i wasted an hour of my life waiting in the apartment. I had to buy declogger and also trash bags. The handyman pulled out soooo much disgusting gunk and said the declogger kind of helped the shower a bit but the sink leak was also due to severe clogging. Everything just grossed me out on top of all the dusty sheets etc i just didnt feel comfortable at all and also was about the principle of it all so I tried to move apartments but i had the worst luck with response times from both host AND airbnb that in the end i only had like 3 or 4 days left so i just ended up staying until the end and took meds every night.
If you are a light sleeper please bring earplugs. The fridge makes a loud buzzing noise for like 10-15 min at a time every 30 min or so… the neighbors can be super loud on weekends and if you’re staying a long time you’ll also notice how much dust accumulates in just one day on the bed and above the bed. Hopefully you are not allergic to dust.
I do highly recommend this place for short term vacations because the location is ideal. Now that the bathroom issues have been fixed on my vacation time, technically everything else is okay. the shower head holder is half broken but still kind of holds😹. Also i am very short and the toilet is EXTREMELY close to the wall as someone wrote before. Even i had to be at an angle. 😹
For long term stays, you will have to vacuum every other day, which i did fine since i stayed 2 weeks, it’s not a big deal.
I live on a raised ground floor back home but it doesn’t get as dusty as this studio. So keep that in mind. If i didn’t have all those reparation issues and sheets cleanliness issues my trip would’ve been really great from start to end. It was just extremely annoying that i had to be the one to spend my vacation waiting for handymen, cleaners and buy things for their apartment.
The host agency was somewhat unresponsive at a later point when i was asking for my reimbursement, but in the end everything was handled i was reimbursed for cleaning fees and a little extra for the inconveniences. This is the first time i’ve had this kind of experience but after going to the next airbnb apt for my last 3 days in paris, this place is seriously amazing in comparison!!
