Beware of OUTDOOR patio walkway to bathroom & roach. So many issues with this property:
1- As soon as we entered the property with the host, we noticed a ROACH behind the bed. The host quickly sprayed to get rid of it (thus we couldn’t take a picture of it), as though it’s not the first time it happened for the following reasons: 1) there was a ‘roach’ warning sign on the building bulletin board and 2) a roach spray was readily available in the kitchen. We noticed other (non-roach) bugs later that day, which implies this place is NOT sanitary.
2- You have to go OUTSIDE in order to get to bathroom (toilet and shower). It was very cold in late-December and raining, and the outdoor patio was covered with ‘cloth’ which covers ~90% of rain. It was VERY cold going to bathroom in the evening and early morning. The OUTDOOR patio walkway to bathroom has about the same temperature as outside (40s overnight), plus we got rain drops on us since ceiling ‘cloth’ does not fully protect from rain and water leaks through the edges.
3- Both of the beds are folding wall type, and the metal edge of the bed protrudes making it a safety hazard as there is VERY little space between bed frame and walls. We hit our legs numerous times during just one night while getting in and out of the bed.
4- The water heater is VERY small, which barely supplies one person’s shower at a time. One of us ended up taking a cold shower in the freezing bathroom as described above.
5- The washer’s spinning cycle doesn’t seem to work, and we had to squeeze water out of laundry by hand.
After experiencing all these troubles, especially the ‘outdoor bathroom’ situation, we checked out after 1 night (originally booked for 3) and respectfully requested a prorated refund for the unused nights (2 of 3). But the host refused and rather accused us of ‘exaggerating’, even though we have pictures (and video) to prove it (except roach since he sprayed so fast we did not have a chance to react). We are now working with Airbnb to get this refund issue resolved.
