I have been using Airbnb for years and never left a bad review. This is my first one. Sorry to say, but stay away from this rental.
The adventure began with our host being late to meet us at the apartment. Then proceeded to make us wait longer to buy us a bottle of wine. No mention of the forthcoming major problem.
We headed up not 4 flights of stairs.. but 5. She seemed nice and helped with the luggage upstairs and she also seemed unorganized. At this point we could tell something was off but didn’t know what yet. Out of breath we entered the musty hot apartment. The host then proceeded to let us know the AC was broken. She had known for days there was an issue but neglected to let us know beforehand. If we were then informed, now being Saturday, we could have secured another place. But the host wanted to talk to us face to face and let us know the problem. Big issue since temperature reached 104F that day... Also only the bedroom has AC.. No AC in the rest of the apartment. Listing states AC Implying throughout.
So we were going to perhaps stay the night and see how hot it got. We wanted to take a shower but there was only 1 towel. This host was completely unprepared for us (as stated in other reviews, which if the AC would have been working we probably would not have minded that much).
Listing states there is TV at the apartment. No TV. Again not a big deal, but all in all it adds up.
We left the apt at 2 am... The bed was hard as a rock I could feel the springs through the mattress. We tried to contact the host from around 8am till about 5pm the next day when she finally responded. Completely inappropriate. It was a hard time to get a refund and the host wanted me to call airbnb and waste my vacation time for her error.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS RENTAL
