I did not hear from my host leading up to check in for over 30 hours. They work business hours. My arrival was on a non-published holiday. An AirBnB ambassador tracked down the host who informed me they are only available for emergencies. She didn’t seem to think paying almost $2000 for a place to stay and being unable to check in rose to an emergency. Check-in took about 3 hours over an unsecured wi-fi at the airport. My messages leading up to arrival went unanswered. I could have used my secure wi-fi had I been able to reach a host in advance.
Expect very minimal supplies. You will likely need to go out to buy toilet paper and dish detergent. The closest grocery store is not on Google maps.
It’s not very close to bus or subway lines. There is one close line if you happen to be going that way. Metro is an 8-20 minute walk depending on where you’re going.
My bed collapsed one night tossing me on the floor. Many other nights there were disturbances. Screaming children, drunk people, etc. There’s a bar in front. People overflow onto the street. One night we came home to one of the patrons peeing on our door step. Lots of surprises. Mostly, not pleasant ones. If you carefully read every review, you can find references to the tiny shower, the noise, bad smells in the cabinets and lack of supplies.
