Although the description says “monthly stays,” this airbnb is not fit for long term stays. Upon arriving, you’ll realize that the window is in fact just a window to the common hallway. This hallway is lit with fluorescent lights 24/7 and does not receive any natural light. That said, the complete lack of fresh air and natural light in the apartment is very disorienting for a month’s stay, and the fake window definitely fooled us into thinking we would have some access to the outside. The pillows are stained and moldy and feel like they are made of styrofoam. We had to buy new ones when we arrived. The bed is incredibly uncomfortable and feels more like cardboard than a mattress. While the description says “2 beds,” it is actually two twin beds shoved together, resulting in a constant divide between the two mattresses. However, you can’t separate them, as the sheets provided are for a queen mattress. There is NO light in the shower and the floor is covered in mold. In addition, the ground slants away from the drain, causing it to flood every time it is used. The toilet constantly breaks, causing it to leak and make noise. There are no amenities for guests other than two small shabby towels and one plastic bar of soap the size of my thumb. The kitchen is completely unfit for cooking. There is one hot plate that is only usable with a tiny pot. It can hardly cook one portion of pasta, let alone anything else. There were also no directions left for this hot plate, so we had to figure it out on our own. There are no microwaves or “cooking basics” although it says there are in the description. The apartment hadn’t been used in over a year according to a previous review, which was evident by the excessive dust everywhere. The laundry machine in the building was very confusing to use and made all of our clothes smell like metal. After one use, we opted to use a laundromat for the rest of the trip. Lastly, there is a constant buzzing sound that comes from some unknown spot in the wall. It repeats itself over and over throughout the day and night, which forced us to use earbuds or headphones in order to sleep. Communication with the host was difficult, as his average response time is 11 hours. Furthermore, the feature that claims that “luggage drop off is allowed” when checking in or out is completely false, as they simply redirect you to a different building a ways away where you can pay to stow your luggage. Not very convenient when you’re traveling with a month’s worth of clothing. When I asked the host if we could stay an extra hour with our bags before our departure, he never even wrote back. In fact, the cleaning crew actually showed up an hour earlier than our scheduled check out time. I am giving the apartment two stars because of the good location, but I would definitely not recommend staying here for a long period of time. The description should be adjusted to short-term stays rather than monthly. There was simply no effort put into making the apartment comfortable. As young girls who had saved up a lot of money for the stay, we were hoping for a much more accurate description. We feel as though the pictures tricked us into thinking the location was much brighter, larger, and more efficient than it actually was, and we were very disappointed with the reality. I believe we deserve a partial refund, especially because of the hazardous mold throughout the bathroom.
