Unfortunately I cannot give a good rating for this booking. Upon arriving, we discovered that the apartment’s air conditioning unit was broken. We messaged the owners immediately, who were fast to respond (to their credit), however they admitted they knew about this beforehand. Yet they deliberately did not warn us in advance, on a weekend with high temperatures of 38 degrees C (100.4 degrees F).
They said a technician would be coming to fix it the next day, but later messaged to say that nobody could come at any point during our stay (only the day after we were due to leave). We asked for electric fans as it was truly stiflingly hot, as well as some kind of discount - the request for fans was ignored and we received $77 back from a $430 booking (which we did appreciate!!).
However, I can’t get past the irresponsible and seemingly deliberate deceit. We would never have reserved an Airbnb without air conditioning, and would most likely have asked for a refund and made other plans if warned in advance.
Furthermore, as we left on Sunday, a cleaner came in to clean the apartment, assumedly for guests who would be staying that night (when the technician would supposedly not be coming until Monday). Again, I doubt the next guests were told about what they were getting themselves into. Disappointing.
PS - one of the two bedrooms is right next to the street and is unfortunately very noisy. Sadly can not recommend this place.
