Overall, this apartment has some good things about it. It is in a nice location and everything is renovated. We unfortunately experienced a stressful communication issue with the host. The refrigerator was not cold at all and was not working. When we reported the issue, Sandra came by and moved the dial. But we had already tried that. In messages, it was clear that the host felt the issue was resolved and we felt our concerns were dismissed. The refrigerator was still not working. After we insisted on further action, the host did schedule a technician (presumably for the next day). We decided it was better for our mental health to get a new AirBnB as we’re both entrepreneurs and really need a smooth home environment. The host asked us to let him know if we did decide to leave because he wanted to cancel the technician if so. This really shows me that they didn’t believe us that the fridge was not working.
Now, we understand that this is a business for the host and we don’t want to completely ignore the good things about the apartment. The bed was comfortable. The hot water worked well. There was storage space in the bedrooms. The windows on either end are nice to look out of. Just know that the apartment doesn’t have a lot of space and it’s tight quarters. And the stairs take a long time to climb. If the fridge issues were resolved, we would have had a fine stay there.
