I will start with the bad about our stay:
-communication with the host was confusing; first rude, then pleasant, then told us that we could enter the apartment at 4:30 PM
-we arrive at 4:30, we get buzzed in by the housekeeper
-she was very nice but let us know that she had just arrived; the host told her we weren’t arriving until 6:30 PM, so she let us leave our things and told us that we were not able to stay while she cleaned. This was out of her control and I understand why she asked us to do this; I blame this wholly on the host. We were absolutely exhausted, needed showers and sleep, and couldn’t do either
-the neighborhood is a bit dodgy
-paper thin walls; you hear EVERYTHING from the surrounding apartments, and I say this with having experience living in a large city setting. The amount of noise was exceptionally awful
-price was not worth the stay. Save yourself a headache and get a hotel if you haven’t found anything else
The good:
-housekeeper does an excellent job, apartment was very clean
-apartment is as advertised by pictures
Clearly the good does not outweigh the bad from this experience; I hardly ever write reviews, have abundant experience using Airbnb and am a very flexible/easy going person. That being said, I would not recommend this place to anyone.
