—The apartment is fine and great location for a short stay. Apartment had minor issues that show lack of upkeep/care-lights behind the couch not working, wallpaper behind the bed lifting up at the corners, wifi info posted on the wall not updated, broken chain on a decorative mirror. Super quick fixes if the hosts cared enough to fix them, but none that would affect my rating.
—Major issue #1-the bed was dirty. I always check the furniture/bedding of hotel rooms/Airbnbs. We found large pieces of dirt and hair on the mattress, mattress pad, and a pillow. The bed needed vacuuming-we found a vacuum and did it ourselves. We did ask for fresh bed linens (the linens seemed fine but the mattress and pad were gross so we wanted new).
—Major issue #2-immediately after check-in we found the bathroom sink pipe was disconnected from the sink. The drawers under the sink were poorly reassembled with only duct tape and they collapsed when we opened them to figure out why water was pouring out. The hosts were unresponsive in the Airbnb app but had given a phone number to call for check-in (which was a third party and not the hosts), so we contacted the number again and they were able to get a handyman the next day to fix the broken sink and drawers. We asked for fresh towels (since we had to clean up the water on the bathroom floor) and got those when the sink was fixed.
—The bed cleanliness and the sink issue should have been caught by the cleaners and fixed before we checked in since we had informed the hosts we would arrive a few hours after check-in time (we checked in about 7:30pm). But even though the issues got fixed somewhat quickly, we probably won’t stay here again due to the stress of staying here the first time.
