Wow. I've stayed at a lot of AirBnBs and this was truly the worst experience I've ever had. I had orignally booked the stay for ~ 5 months. However, I ended up leaving after just one week. There were multiple problems from an inaccurate description to lack of privacy due to cameras in the living space. Here are all the issues: 1. The host makes you sign a contract (which is for apartment leasing, not AirBnBs) before arriving. 2. You have to sign an additional contract upon check in. 3. The place is way too small for two people. While there are two bedrooms, the kitchen and living room are so small that two people could not comfortably socialize there. 4. The stairwell is impressively narrow (also mentioned by other guests). My bags barely fit between the walls, on the short side of the bag. 5. The listing was not accurate. It mentioned a dryer, and oven, and cooking supplies (salt, pepper, oil). There is no dryer. (Now corrected on the listing.) There is not a real oven, only a microwave with an oven-like crisping feature. They provide zero cooking supplies and minimal cleaning supplies (one kitchen rag and dishsoap). I complained and was told that these supplies were only for short term guests. 5. The property manager doesn't respond on Sundays. I had a bad leak in the bathroom sink took a few days to get fixed. 6. There are cameras inside the apartment that face the living room/kitchen and the bathroom/hallway. Creepy. I started coming home and hiding in my bedroom to avoid the cameras. The property manager did mention the cameras and said they only turn on when the alarm is triggered but how am I supposed to trust that? 7. When I complained to AirBnB, the host responded that I was fabricating things. Interesting, since I supplied photos to AirBnB. Pretty hard for me to erase a dryer or add cameras in a photo.
In the end, AirBnB was able to help me get out of the stay here so I could find a more comfortable place to live. In short, run!!
