Sorry but this is the first airbnb I would not return to. The location is good and the pictures are generally accurate, but here are things I wish I knew beforehand:
- Shower has very little pressure and runs out of hot water after 5 minutes. If you and your partner both wish to shower sequentially, you'll have to conserve hot water (soap up with water off, then rinse rapidly) -- or whomevers second will be left with cold.
- Pest control devices all over the apartment make clicking sounds every 5 seconds. I didn't want to find out what consequence of unplugging them would bring.
- Several large cracks/flaking plaster on the walls
- Bed and especially pillows were sub par. It makes a huge difference if they would just invest in better pillows.
- Bedroom recieves no natural light, there's no window.
- Drawers and closet area are loaded with personal items. There's not much room to unpack.
- Vase sitting on top of the shower drain when I got there, just at it is in the pics online. Being from NY, my experience tells me it's to avoid something crawling out of that drain. I did not see any pests during my stay however.
- Linens were yellowing and one towell was dirty. I took my shoes off when we arrived, walked around for 5 minutes and found lots of hair stuck to my socks.
- Wifi-controlled lock failed to allow us to bolt the door from inside. Not a big deal as the door was still locked, just not as secure.
- TVs are not smart. forget about logging into Netflix.
- Overall the fit and finish of the renovation is amateur level.
