When I first walked in, it seemed like it was somewhat similar to the listing. It was smaller than I expected and the pictures were a little off but it was no problem at first. Then when I turned the AC unit on, I realized it was still very hot. My stay was in the middle of June and it’s always 90 degrees here or hotter. There was only 1 AC unit in the apartment and it wasn’t in the bedroom so I didn’t sleep much. It also started malfunctioning during the night, making loud noises, and spitting out (what I believe was) ice.
You need a power card in the wall to activate the electricity. The card is connected to the key which is on a ring that is welded together. So it is impossible to take the card off and leave the electricity on when you leave the apartment. So the place couldn’t cool down while we were gone.
When I contacted the host to see if there was a way to keep the electricity on for my dog, I didn’t get a response. After waiting for about 45 minutes, I decided to ask for partial refund for the inconveniences. I finally got a response from the host saying “there are no pets allowed in this apartment”. Then informed him that it says “pets allowed” in the house rules + I booked for 2 adults and a pet. After I got no response Airbnb stepped in I was eventually granted the refund.
I gave this 2 stars because the communication was bad, the apartment was slightly inaccurate, the dishes were dirty, the electricity issue - leaving the apartment unbearably hot.
