Having stayed with various Airbnb hosts in Europe, Asia and North America, imo, this place is one of the best “hardware” equipped Airbnb I have stayed at. The host has obviously spent money in refurbishing the apartment with nice luxurious touches (rain showers, dimmers, nice furniture, modern appliances, comfortable beds, ACs everywhere, etc). From a location perspective, this place is quite central and accessible to “happening” places, a short 5 to 10 mins walk to lots of good food, drinking places, and popular sites, but without the hustle and bustle of being right in the middle of everything. It is located on a quiet narrow residential street with few if any, cars passing by and the few occasional loud conversations in the middle of the night by groups of passing partygoers are tolerable. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the outsourced management company that manages this apartment for the owner detracted from the great value and comfort of this apartment. We arrived on time to the agreed checkin time of 3:30pm but no one was around to let us in despite ringing the door intercom repeatedly. We left messages for the management company on the Airbnb website (3x) and texted them repeatedly from 3:40pm to 4:00pm to no avail, until someone came down to finally let us in at 4:05pm (this apparently after multiples call from our kind pick-up driver who followed up despite dropping us off) The excuse was that no one told her we were around and as it turned out, the intercom was not working! Subsequent conversations with the management company resulted in assertion that their employee was at the apartment, which was obvious, but obviously no one cared to check us in and left us sitting on the curbside for 30 mins in the sun, in an unfamiliar narrow quiet graffitied street. We were made to feel like it was our fault for showing up on time, for the door intercom malfunctioning, and for no one picking up the IMs , text messaging and phone calls that we sent repeatedly! The apartment as mentioned earlier is indeed well furnished but unfortunately, poorly maintained. We found that one of the hall wall lamp was ripped out (apparently by the previous guests?), the toilet paper holder in the common bathroom was missing, the flex shower cord was massively leaking water, AC remote not working due to dead batteries, and instead of a set of 4 wine glasses, only 3 were provided, with one cracked. We did not report the last issue as it had gotten tiresome working with the management company so we drank out of coffee mugs when we drank wine! There’s always a first! To be fair, all these (except the door intercom, and the wine glasses) were eventually fixed – someone let him(her)self in without our expressed permission and fixed the issues while we were out touring. No notice of having intruded was provided (things just got fixed), but nothing was lost or disturbed in this case....
