Actually, great apartment!
No, seriously - it's REALLY cool-looking, it's unusual (loft deep down), loved it from the design & architectural perspective.
The location is also great.
The problem there is the host.
First and foremost, Arturo hasn't been able to organize proper cleaning of the place.
To be honest, there was barely ANY cleaning.
Yet he's no shy to charge US$53 for it - on top of already no-cheap listing.
Dirty greasy dishes (even those in dishwasher), smelly towels (we had to rewash 'em), stained bed linen. Hair in the shower & on the stairs. Mold in the shower.
And, finally, the clogged drain.
And over the last one, emerges another issue: communication.
As I was finally able to get a hold of him on the phone (which is not easy, because his "official" number he exposed through Airbnb looks like fake: it's in Brazil & no one ever answered there) - he's been in TOTAL denial, inventing all possible reasons for what I'm saying is not true.
Despite I sent him the photos to confirm the things.
It took me good 15 or 20 min of pretty intense persuasion to make him send someone to just unclog the shower - which otherwise were unusable.
All this time he's been proposing to send someone tomorrow - yet, finally, he find some strength to face the truth & found someone for the "now".
Unfortunately, as we continue to communicate for a proper compensation for the mess & gross we encountered, it's become evident he's still in almost total denial about the issues (which also included tremendous problems with check in, total absence of advertised cooking essentials & detergents, as well as extremely sparse supply things like toilet paper & soap).
Hence, I feel obliged to warn other potential customers/victims to that "business".
