Several things went wrong to pile into the perfect storm.
To begin with, the listing is for one bedroom out of the three. I thought it was for the whole apartment. Which to me would’ve been important to know as I’d have not stayed here as a solo traveler. The location is good but I didn’t feel safe sharing the space with guests I’ve never seen, but I tried to make it work.
Two, the room where I stayed was not the one from the listing. The comforter had holes and needed to be replaced.
Lastly, on my second day, the elevator broke down. I decided to try it. I have knee problems, so going upstairs on five flights every time you are in and out is definitely an issue. I contacted the host, he asked me to request the refund process since I told him I was going to leave earlier as that is not an accessible accommodation for me. He denied the refund for the remainder of the days, which is unfair given that being able to access the apartment pain-free was a major deal to me.
