While the space is beautiful, it has several issues. We actually chose this apartment based on reviews of it being meticulously clean; however, we actually found it could be much cleaner...upon arrival, the toilet seats, shower, mirrors, refrigerator and kitchen counter all needed cleaning, which my husband and I did ourselves. As well, the rugs require cleaning-after showering and walking barefoot on it for a few minutes, my feet were black and I needed to wash them again and put on socks, which were also dirty after walking around. The bedroom linens had stains and the shower continuously backed up (my husband and I had to plunge it ever time we were in the shower). Also, the couch cushions were stained in several places.
Also, the host was very challenging to get in touch with; we reached out twice in the weeks leading to our stay and didn’t receive a response until less than 24 hours prior to arrival. She told us that she could not accommodate early check-in, as the apartment was being cleaned until 2pm, but she would text us when ready. We arrived at 1pm and waited outside of the apartment until 2pm (no one ever left, so unsure as to why earlier check-in couldn’t be accommodated). The host also told us she would text us when it was ready...we never received the text and just went in at 2pm.
We stay around the world at air bnbs that are managed/run by super hosts and usually, the provide some sort of tips, instructions, etc., but nothing provided here (we had to call the host twice just to figure out why the appliances weren’t working)...both the washer/dryer and fridge were turned off.
We had to search for the bed pillows upon arrival (which were in the closet in the living room) and they were very thin and unsupportive. No wash clothes provided (I had to purchase some and left one there for future guests).
All in all, we made the best of our stay utilizing the balcony with its amazing views & optimal location, but sadly, would not stay here again if the above was not corrected.
