I’m conflicted because this place has potential… but it needs significant work to get it up to an acceptable state. I’m hopeful
that the host can fix the underlying issues.
After a brief walk-around it was clear that the unit’s current state was not acceptable. I contacted AirBNB and they immediately cancelled the reservation and gave me a refund, to their credit. So AirCover worked as intended. Of note, this unit was an unfortunate outlier compared to all the other AirBNBs I’ve rented.
The pros, echoed by others:
-responsive host
-very good location in a quiet spot with plenty to do
-cool art deco building
The cons, also echoed by others:
-musty/chemical smel
-mold in the bathroom on the ceiling and in cabinets
-not clean - all of the rooms had issues with with grime and old wet hair on the floors / cleaning was only superficial
