There were a couple of issues we had with the apartment that weren’t mentioned in the post so we’ll add them here and hopefully the host could address these issues to improve the airbnb experience.
1. It wasn’t mention in the post that there were dogs in the house. We like dogs, but the problem is that every time we come in and go out of the house, the dogs would be barking as the main doors are creeky, which made a lot of noise that it’s impossible to not alert the dogs. Sometimes, they would be roaming around the pathway to our room which made us uncomfortable as they weren’t so friendly with us. Moreover, there are times that we came back home late or leave early and the whole house would be disturbed since the dogs were barking.
2. When flushing the toilet, there’s some water that leaks from the tank. Which makes the bathroom wet with toilet tank water, and that was super unsanitary. Moreover, the toilet was small and not standard size making it uncomfortable.. The toilet seat slides to the side and ended up hurting us while using it since it clips your inner thigh’s skin. The shower pressure is low and the water goes in different directions making it really hard to have a proper shower. Furthermore, the water heater takes awhile to warm up hence making you waste a lot water just to get it warm.
3. In order to get to the room, you have to use a really steep and narrow spiral staircase, that makes it hard to access while carrying your luggage. Luckily, we didn’t have big suitcases as it would be nearly impossible and quite dangerous to carry a big luggage with you while using the said staircase.
Despite the issues, there were some good things for sure too. The location is great as there’s a lot of restaurants, convenience stores and pharmacies around. You can easily walk from the house to a lot of interesting neighbourhoods and landmarks.
The room was clean and the bed was comfy, the room also has a closet with a lot of space and there were some complimentary things in the room that we appreciated, including a mini fridge and microwave.
