I honestly do not know why this apartment is an "Airbnb Plus," or why the other guests have given it five stars. From the moment I arrived, it was a disappointing experience. First, the apartment is very, very dark. It gets literally no natural sunlight at any point during the day - it faces north-west, but other buildings block the western sunset light. Second, the actual lighting in the apartment is dim and inadequate, so that even with ll the lights on the apartment is dark. Third, and most critically, the entire system is controlled by technology, which is very hard to figure out, and includes NO way to control the temperature of the apartment - the host controls it remotely. One morning I was working, and started to feel very, very cold, and started shivering - and discovered that the heat was set to 15 degrees. I spent an hour trying to turn it up, and then contracted the host, who revealed that she would turn it up for me - but only to 18! I had to negotiate for it to be turned up to 21 - and then the next morning found it to be turned back to 17. Fourth, the bed is not a king-sized bed as adertized, but two single beds pushed together, so that you feel their edges poking up at you when you sleep. Fifth, I had been intending to cook in the apartment, and went out and bought a ton of groceries, only to find that the apartment lacks a knife sharp enough to cut onions and carrots, that there was no grater, and nothing to bake with. Overall, this apartment has FAR fewer amenities than other apartments that do not have a "airbnb plus" designation. Finally, this was the first airbnb I've ever stayed in where someone did not meet me and show me around. I really feel sad to leave this review, as I have been an airbnb host myself, and so prefer to leave positive reviews, but it was perhaps my worst-ever airbnb experience.
