Cons:
AC does not work as expected. There is one room with AC. Not the entire apartment. The one room must be vented through a wide open window. The second bedroom has a small fan. The rest of the apartment does not have AC.
The washer machine did not work as expected. On our first wash, the machine locked our laundry in. The host stated she would get a repairman right away, it’s 48 hours later and I still do not have the clothing. My mother, whose clothing is in the washer, is still without clothing for the rest of our trip. The host is now attempting to blame me for the washer breaking, when it showed signs of rust and other wear and tear to begin with. She also claims that the washer is two months old, even though she told me the night of the break it was one year old and later told Airbnb it was one month old.
The toilet does not flush completely. When you use it, you must also take a large pot of water to assist in the flushing process.
The house smelled of cigarette smoke.
The host is also a half hour outside of the city, so it’s hard for her to manage issues on site as they arise.
Pros
Spacious home
The kitchen is well equipped.
The WiFi worked well.
Overall I would say read all of the reviews of this host carefully. If you do, you will see many of them that have had bad things to say have had the same issues that I have. I did not read all of the reviews carefully enough, and ended up with a small list of complaints.
