Deceiving
Pros:
Friendly host! Franco is very friendly and replies in a timely manner. He was kind enough to meet us at the Airbnb past midnight after our arrival to show us how to enter the building.
Location!! It’s in a wonderful and safe location. Within walking distance to tons of restaurants and cafes.
You can expect to find it as pictured.
CONS:
Master bathroom was out of service half of our stay. There was a leak that flooded the restroom floor. That leak made the restroom and master bedroom smell of sewer/waste water. Franco took two days to fix the problem. We didn’t have access to a second bathroom/shower for 2 days and 2 nights and had to sleep in a room that smelled of sewer for 2 nights.
Dryer- wouldn’t work. There were no instructions on how to get it to work. When Franco went over to fix the restroom leak he showed us how to use it. Basically the knob doesn’t work. You need to remove the knob and use pliers to turn the knob. You must turn that knob to turn on the dryer and get it to work. This wouldn’t have been a big deal but Franco didn’t tell us ahead of time and we were left with a wet load of laundry until he went over to leave pliers for us to use.
Power outage!! On our fourth night we lost power to most of the apartment. Franco had to go over to discover there was a burned fuse and strangely enough we would only have power/light/electricity if the dryer was on- this is no joke! If the dryer would turn off we would lose power. An electrician had to come over to fix the fuse and he was there last midnight. This night was a mess.
Because Franco seemed to know exactly what was wrong with each of our problems- bathroom leak, broken dryer knob, turning on dryer to get power back up (super random trick!) I believe that these are not new problems or issues. He was in the apartment too much.
No heating- it does get cold and only one space heater is provided for the entire place.
This place was deceiving. Found as pictured but it has too many flaws that cannot be seen through images. Hope they’re taken care of for future guests.
