AVOID - not good
Firstly the shower was broken when I arrived, it didn’t stand up on it’s own which meant I had to hose myself down like a dog and try and wash myself with one hand
- The host didn’t tell me it was broken before I arrived (even though he was aware of it as he later said the previous guests had broken it)
- Host was unresponsive - took two days to get it ‘fixed’, when I told him it was still faulty (leaking water in multiple directions) he then ignored me
- The shower also doesn’t drain properly meaning you have to shower in about 30 seconds or less if you don’t want it to overflow into the the rest of the bathroom
- As well as this there were a number of more general issues with the apartment - there was an awful smell in the communal area of cigarettes and general waste / rubbish. This tended to permeate into the apartment itself
- There are only two very small windows in the apartment which don’t open fully and no air conditioning, this meant it was very difficult / impossible to ever really air the smell out
- There were faulty electrics - plugs that either didn’t work or that started sparking and so I had to be careful to avoid them
- Little to no basic amenities: e.g. no washing up liquid, tea towels, shower gel, bin bags or full length mirror
- Accommodation did not match the photos: in the photos there were two big arm chairs in the living room. These were not in the apartment, there was just one sofa.
- Broken floor boards - almost fell through one near the window, this is another health hazard
- Coat hooks in the bedroom are rusted, so if you hang anything on them, e.g. clothes, towels your items turn rusted
- Finally the host ghosted me - at first he responded re the shower and then after that was ‘fixed’ he began ignoring me
