This apartment is right by the port. We picked it because we thought it would be picturesque to be able to see the water. You can see the water ... but the part of the port you see (and hear) is very much a working port. So you have to be prepared for cranes and trucks and heavy machinery to be part of your view and for the noises to begin as early as 6:30 a.m. We found it very noisy. If you close all the windows, then it becomes stuffy. The apartment itself had a grubby feel, although they had tried to scrub it with some harsh cleaners. The 2nd bathroom is super small with a bath stall that's 2.5 or 3 sq. ft.
Things started okay. The husband of the couple who owns the place checked us in and was nice enough to allow us to park in a nearby garage. We did appreciate that. However, we had issues from the second day when the dishwasher wasn't working. The hosts were responsive at first and came to repair it. But then that evening, all the electricity ports (where you plug in devices) blew out.
Obviously something had tripped. When we told the hosts, they immediately tried to blame the adapters we had plugged in to charge our phones without even seeing or knowing anything. This is not okay. If you are on AirBnb and accept international travelers - then you have to have electricity that can withstand adapters - or provide your own. That whole last evening was spent with first the wife and then the husband coming over (from 8 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.) and trying to troubleshoot the issue. We had suggested them sending an electrician over who would know what was to be done when the wife couldn't fix it. Instead, the husband came with a friend and then darted around the house, entering rooms without knocking, cursing most of the time, and trying to figure it out by flipping the trip switches and various sockets. The result was that instead of a relaxing last evening, we were troubleshooting the house and electrical sockets with the hosts, in what felt like a lot of tension.
At the end of the evening, the husband managed to get most of the sockets working (so at least one of the people in our group could use her sleep apnea machine). But he couldn't get the sockets in the kitchen working. That meant the fridge and dishwasher couldn't work. So our food spoiled. When we checked out the following morning, I messaged them and outlined all the issues we had faced and requested a refund for the last evening (which was wasted troubleshooting their house). The hosts just stopped replying... and then when contacted by Airbnb, refused to issue any refund.
I'm an airbnb host myself. I understand that things go wrong sometimes. But you should deal with that by getting professional help and trying to make things as good as possible for the guests. I've never given hosts such a bad review, because I know what it takes to host spaces on airbnb. But this apartment was definitely NOT worth the price. It's fine for students/young people looking to party and hang out if they are willing to pay a premium... but not somewhere you want to stay for the amount they were charging (even without all the basic issues of electricity and dishwasher and then fridge) that we faced. Would NOT recommend.
