I can not in good faith recommend Anatol as a host. As a frequent airbnb user, I have stayed in 31 airbnbs, and have never written a bad review for a stay. However, my experience at Anatol’s apartment was not comfortable, and we did not receive the value that we paid for.
To begin, the photos make the apartment look larger than it is. The two beds (one of which is a futon) are very uncomfortable, and the chairs in the apartment are cheap and even broke and collapsed one time when we sat down.
However, the biggest issue was the absence of care or effort - and eventual dishonesty - of our host regarding our stay-long lack of hot water in the shower.
After we notified Anatol that there was no hot water in the shower, it took a month for him to fix it. This was only after we contacted Airbnb, who put pressure on him to fix the issue. Our stay was during the winter, and it was ridiculous to not have this basic utility.
Anatol was dishonest in his communications with Airbnb in order to avoid having to refund us partially for the lack of hot water.
