The good first:
It is a fairly big apartment.
It is in the basement of the building, so, it is very dark, if you like sleeping in this is a great place. And pretty quiet. My daughter complained one night about street noise but I thought it was really quiet, especially given it is right on the road.
The kitchen is pretty good. Decent stove top and enough pots & pans & dishes to use and prepare meals. Big fridge and dishwasher.
The not so good:
The apartment smells like smoke. There is even a cigarette burn on the couch. The apartment is really quite beaten up and very far from what is presented in the listing. The furniture (red fabric tables chairs) all have big stains on them. The sliding door to the master bedroom bathroom does not close. The towel rack in the master bathroom fell off the mount when we put a hand towel on it. There is mold around shower in master bathroom. The living room has wires hanging out all over onto the floor where the equipment is. Similar situation in other rooms with wires loose coming out of wall for the Wi-Fi routers or something. Speaking of Wi-Fi , they require use of two separate Wi-Fi router networks, depend on which room you are in. There is a room just off the kitchen with just a bed and no furniture. That room has poor Wi-Fi signal. It is inconvenient having to switch Wi-Fi networks depending on which room you are in. The furniture in the 2nd bedroom Is peeling off on both drawers. Many of the walls have what look like huge hole repairs that were never quite finished and sanded & painted. This is especially so in the master bedroom where the jacuzzi tub is. It is clear there has been water damage problems from that jacuzzi on the wall between the tub and the bedroom. They have very rough patching applied to the wall but it is not even sanded down or painted over. The third bedroom off from the kitchen had two fake fingernails left on the floor under the side of the bed. Also, the advertised shared terrace is just a completely empty concrete open space at the top of the building with no furniture that feels like people are not even supposed to be up there it has such an abandoned & industrial feel.
When I was a college student this would have been a fine place. But when it is for my family with two kids, this is most definitely not what I was expecting. I am most disappointed in Airbnb for not taking care of the customer. Apparently I am not the most important customer in this 3-way transaction.
