My friend and I booked this Airbnb for a month. It was a very convenient and walkable location close to public transportation and many great restaurants.
This Airbnb is ideal for up to a week-long stay, but it’s not adequate for month-long stays given the current cleaning situation and lack of communication around cleaning. Since there are no cleaning supplies provided at the Airbnb except dish soap, Elsa told us that there would be weekly cleanings on Friday mornings. Upon arrival, the hand soap was already running low and was a mix of soap and water. The cleaners were stingy with the toilet paper and we found ourselves running out of toilet paper each week. On the third week, the cleaners did not come at all while we were away on a weekend trip, and it was very frustrating to come back to an unclean apartment with no toilet paper. We had to use napkins and go out and buy toilet paper ourselves the next morning while waiting for the cleaner to come the next evening.
The shower was not caulked well as there was mold growing along the sides of the shower stall. The dish drying rack was rusted, and the plastic cooking spatulas and utensils were already cracked and peeling. There were no hooks on the inside of the bathroom for towels.
Elsa was quick to respond to my first messages but sometimes didn’t answer my follow-up questions, such as when I asked if the weekly cleaning had an extra fee or when we could expect the shower drain to be fixed when it suddenly broke the second week.
