Our stay at this AirBnB was quite disappointing to say the least.
If you decide to stay in this unit please be aware of the following:
* The unit is on the 7th floor of the building and the elevator doesn’t work even though the listing advertises an elevator. We had to lug all our luggage up and down the stairs. Also to note, the building in general is in rough shape - no lights, garbage everywhere, and in some places looks abandoned.
* Once we got into the unit it was pretty clear that the owners don’t take proper care of it. Though the beds and linens were changed and “clean”, you know that it was just a cursory cleaning.
* The bathroom had black mold building up inside the shower, the grout was completely filthy (stained orange), the bathroom ceiling had some curious stains splattered all over it.
* One of the bedroom curtain rods was not properly installed and so it fell on top of one of the guests staying in that room.
* Last, but certainly not least, there was a literal human tooth found in the sink.
We were a flexible group staying in the unit, and so we documented/video taped, and spoke with the property manager regarding all of this once we arrived to make sure that the state of the unit was noted and that we were not going to be held responsible for these damages. Thus began a very hostile and stressful 2 days dealing with the PM. They insisted that they send cleaners come to the unit, which we initially agreed with at a specific time, only for them to show up when we were not willing to have them at the house (again, always documented in our message threads). Also, it’s not a matter of “cleaning”, it’s a matter of the state of the unit re:mold, questionable substances, broken finishings and a literal tooth. They also repeatedly told us that they didn’t believe there was a tooth in the sink (the cleaner confirmed and we sent them pictures as proof).
In any case, this was a very stressful stay and for what the unit is there are plenty of others in the area that are similarly priced with better service and cleaner facilities.
