The apartment is not like the listing as it's advertised with professional and embellished photos.
During the rushed check-in, the host seemed more interested in knowing at what time we were leaving on checkout day. He doesn’t own the property and is only hosting it for the owner.
The photo implies that there is a walk-in shower and it's an old and unsafe bathtub. We bought a rubber mat to avoid an accident. The fridge is old and rusty. The main closet in the living area was full of cleaning appliances and tools. An ironing board, drying rack, mop, pail, vacuum cleaner and beach umbrellas. We had to remove everything, and wash the entire closet before storing our clothes.
There were unbearable smells in the kitchen and after a week we discovered mothballs and other products under the sink cabinet.
About a week into our stay there was an attempted entry without notification. We were in the shower and unprepared. We found out that the owner encouraged the building caretaker with A/C contractors to attempt to enter and perform an assessment for the installation of a unit.
Soon after, we received a call from the host apologizing for forgetting to notify us.
We later found out that this listing was vacant for over a month and they decided to attempt to enter while we were occupying the unit.
Both locks to the building and the apartment don’t work well and we felt even more insecure.
For all these and other reasons we didn’t enjoy our stay and feel the place is overpriced for the location and amenities provided.
