We had an awkward stay at this airbnb. The space is interesting and great for those with an interest in design. Though it may look modern, the unit is in an old building. The host rents the unit and then rents in out. At first our stay seems good and the host seemed nice. He gave my son some things to help his cold and got us a stool so that we could better reach the high up items in the unit. He also accommodated our late arrival due to a flight delay. However, we ran into a problem with the hot water system and that's when everything started to change. I tried for 30 min to get hot water one evening. When I was unsuccessful I asked the host for help. He insisted it was working when it clearly wasn't, and became agitated. He eventually came to the unit and tried himself to get hot water for several minutes. Eventually it started working again. I asked him if we should contact him if it happened again and he said no. He said that there isn't anything he can do about it because he rents and it takes the landlord weeks to fix things. We lost hot water another day again it didn't tell him because he made it clear we were bothering him. The unit doesn't really have a kitchen. It is a kitchenette with hot plates. There is a small bar refrigerator that doesn't work very well. It struggled to cool a moderate amount of groceries. Everything we bought for the freezer had to be thrown out because the freezer doesn't work. Everything melted. The host was not receptive to my questions about the refrigerator and freezer. He insisted the freezer worked fine even though it clearly didn't. He told me it was a "day freezer" and told me he "wasn't going to buy a new freezer." The taps in the bathroom drip constantly. He told us we have a choice between the sink dripping or the shower and showed me how to configure the pipes to flow to the sink as it is less loud than the shower. The host, who lives next door, had 2 loud gatherings that went early into the morning while we were there. We cleaned the place and didn't break anything but found that the host had claimed we owed him money for bending a curtain rod when we returned home and wanted over $100 dollars. We didn't do anything to the curtains. The bathroom floor is painful to stand on, as the other reviewers have indicated. We would not stay there again. It was an uncomfortable
airbnb experience after so many pleasant ones.
