I would not recommend staying with Daniel. The apartment itself was in a great location and was very nice, but I cannot recommend staying here because of Daniel. The check in process went fine, he was there to greet me. However, a few hours into my stay, I noticed the heat didn't seem to be working. The temperature was set to 22 degrees celsius and had been for many hours, but the apartment was only 17 degrees. I told Daniel there was an issue, and he told me that the heat definitely doesn't have any issues, and I should just try turning the heat up higher. So, I raised it and went to bed, and it was only 18 degrees in the apartment by the time I woke up. I assume it was this warm because of the heat from the other units in the building. I told Daniel in the morning that it still hadn't gotten warmer, and he contacted someone to come take a look. Later in the day, he told me that they weren't responding because it was a holiday so there was nothing he could do.
This is unacceptable behavior as an airbnb host. He didn't try to find someone else who could take a look, he didn't offer to give me a partial refund, he didn't offer to bring over space heaters, he didn't even offer to come over and take a look himself to see if something was wrong with the settings on the thermostat. When I googled what hosts would typically do in a situation like this, the first post I found was a host asking if they should just refund one night or the whole reservation, and Daniel couldn't even be bothered to put forth the bare minimum effort. I asked Daniel if he had any other units available that I could switch to, and he just said no. I ended up staying just because moving is a pain and it wasn't too cold that it wasn't livable, but I'm also from a cold climate so I'm used to the cold. I imagine to most guests, 17 degrees would not be an acceptable temperature for their apartment.
On check out day, I had a bit of a covid scare (I thought I might have covid, but I got a test that confirmed I didn't), and I let Daniel know that I was going to get a test to confirm. After I said this, he told me that he was at the apartment and it was warm, so I must have just thought the apartment was cold because I had a fever (which I didn't, I checked my temperature), even though I sent him a picture of the thermostat clearly showing that the apartment was cold. He was totally unprofessional throughout and was trying to convince me that I was making this all up.
This apartment would be good if you don't have any issues you need Daniel for, but I highly recommend against it due to his behavior as a host. In no world is it okay to have an apartment without working heat when the outside temperature at night is below 10 degrees celsius.
