Studio is conveniently located, close to supermarket, 10 min walk from metro.
Also convenient is the washer/dryer, which was needed to wash the uncleaned, stained bedspread upon arrival. Host’s response was, “Sorry sweetie, the cleaning lady forgot to change it.” I later found a bra a previous guest has left, indicating little attention to detail cleaning between guests.
Unfortunately, the issues with cleanliness didn’t end there. In the morning, I discovered the showerheads were moldy. When brought up to the host, she attempted to convince me it was not mold but peeling plastic. When I reached out to Airbnb for support, the host told me I had done the wrong thing, and the showerheads were finally replaced at 10 pm the following night.
I can’t say that the place felt the most private, but it was affordable, communication with the host slowly improved, the heating/cooling worked well, and it served as a decent , if a bit out of the way, hub from which to explore a beautiful city.
