The lack of no air conditioner in the second bedroom which is unacceptable in summer when the midnight temperature is still 30 degrees and humidity over 80%!
I was shocked because this was NOT mentioned on the AirBnB website. I was very careful in choosing an apartment with AC. Everywhere else in this apartment has sufficient AC installed except for this bedroom! I wouldn’t have booked this place had I known on website or through previous guests’ reviews.
I had to sleep in the uncomfortable sofa bed in the living room and couldn’t fall asleep until sunrise.
Fortunately the host took prompt action the next day and offered to let me sleep in a spare bedroom on her other spare apartment next door.
It is also important to note that the reality doesn’t appeal to the photos on AirBnB. It’s less luxurious than the photos suggest, and furniture is very basic and decor lacks a “taste”. Once I stepped into the apartment, I thought I was offered the wrong place. I quickly went through the AirBnB photos and realized that the photos only show a small section of the place and no wide angle was used to show the entire bedrooms and bathrooms.
The host is no doubt very dedicated to make guests happy and was very responsive to my enquiries. Utensils are many and her food gifts are a nice touch. There’s potential for this apartment to do better if the host gives some thoughts to improve the details which won’t cost her a lot.
