The good first: really beautiful expansive roof deck (that you can enjoy yourself – no visitors), and a quiet night’s sleep. Excellent location. Comfortable bed. Very quick communication with hostess.
The things you should know: Internet only works inside the bedroom area. The bedroom area heats up to the 90s during a sunny day because of the inexpensive materials used to build it, making it hard to be inside (and with Internet) from noon to around 6pm.
The problematic: the gas water heater from the hostesses’ apartment below this space is inside the bathroom of THIS space and isn’t vented to the outside, meaning the bedroom and bathroom fill with gas. I’ve worked in construction and yet when I pointed out that this is a fairly serious problem, the hostess went from lovely to defensive and gaslighting me: “What you THINK is the odor of gas is actually…” After her response, I didn’t bother to mention to her that the electric shower head hanging precipitously from the wall shocked me twice when my head hit it and I was standing in the shower water.
Taking responsibility may not be a strong suit here. I was told Air BNB “didn’t respect” the two-day window she had programmed between guests as if there was someone to blame beyond herself for not properly setting her listing. I mean, she also had her checkout time listed at 8pm? I’m looking now and it says 4am? [shrug emoji here]
Hopefully she takes these issues seriously and addresses them. It has the potential to be a good place when it’s a safe place.
