Disappointing stay. I left three days into a two week reservation.
The Bad: Electricity shut off for over 24 hours (and was still off when I checked out.) No lights, heat, wifi or working appliances; no heat was the worst as evening temperatures were 40F/5C outside. I contacted the host, who insisted it was an outage on the street. He made excuses when I asked him to contact the electric company for a restoration time frame. The neighbors, restaurant on the ground floor, and other buildings on the street all had electric. Likely an electric capacity issue specific to this apartment.
The Worse: The plumbing stopped working the day I left. When I turned on the sink faucet, sewage came out of the shower drain.
I didn't hear from the host again until after I contacted AirBnB and vacated the unit. He offered a partial refund.
Other Notes: The photos are outdated. Living room does not look the same. Mattress was hard, towels were old and ragged.
