Let me start by saying;
Feel free to check my profile. I have only great reviews from hosts, so everything I say here is factual and I can only tell you;
This is by far the worst Airbnb experience I’ve ever had.
I had to check out early and Airbnb refunded me 2 of 3 nights.
Location is amazing.
Living room is beautiful, although too hot to sit in because it faces west and the AC isn’t designed to accommodate the reality of the space.
Apartment actually has a steep narrow staircase to get to it.
The place was not clean; past residents stuff in fridge, dirty bars of soap. Hair in drain, obviously not mine
Only 1 light working in the bathroom out of 3 lights.
Kitchen unclean
Bed is not a real bed. It is a Boxspring with a mattress topper on top!!!!!! That’s it!
AC works well in bedroom but isn’t strong enough for the living room given that it faces west with a large bank of windows so it was about 85 degrees in there.
NO WIFI
Had hot water first evening. No hot water next day.
The host was completely unprofessional;
Beginning with smoking e cigarettes inside during check in! (What a gross smell!)
To claiming I’m the first person with any issues and that these are all little things and I should just take a cold shower and not focus on what’s unclean.
He was frustrated by all the problems, but that is no excuse to walk around the apartment screaming and cursing. I have never had a heated screaming match with a host. This was the first time.
(I’m a nomad and travel most of the year and stay in Airbnb’s hundreds of times. This was a first for me to have such an extraordinarily bad situation)
I am sorry to leave a negative review, but I don’t wish anyone to ever have such a bad experience in one of the worlds greatest cities!
Again, location is fantastic, so I recommend Airbnb’s in the vicinity.
But I can’t in good conscience recommend this particular unit.
