Without exception, the worst Airbnb eperience that I (or any of my travelling companions) have ever experienced. I cannot stress enough how awful this apartment is and how unbalanced the owner is. Although this unit is ideally located, it is not what you see in the photos. Almost all of the furniture is broken or torn, certainly gritty and cannot be sat on comfortably. The living room sofa is collapsed at one end, a fact cleverly disguised with throw pillows. The dining room chairs are coming unglued and wobble precariously. The side chairs have torn fabric and the caning is ruined. Virtually every piece of furniture in the place is decrepit. When we arrived, both coffee makers were full of old grounds, some so old that they were encrusted with swaths of mold. Before our arrival, the dishwasher had apparently stopped functioning properly. Every dish was grimy and we had to wash every single thing in the kitchen by hand before using it. The tub area in the small bathroom is full of missing tiles and there are sharp edges everywhere. Bed linens and towels are a hodgepodge of old things that have long ago seen better days. The towels, in particular were crunchy from the laundry. We also had no air conditioning the entire time we were there. When we asked where the controls were for the units, the owner said she needed to have someone come look at the before we could use the. (Was it a surprise we were coming after making our reservation weeks ahead?) The next day, the controls arrived but the AC units would not operate and we never had air con5throughout our trip. This would not have been as bad if any of the windows opened properly. But they don't. All the drapes, sheers, and shades are broken. Not one operates as it should, so the fabric cannot be oulled away to fully allow the windows to open. Every singe window treatment is stained from nicotine and age. They are gritty and dirty and should have been discarded and replaced. Even simple cotton drapes from Ikea would be a huge step up. The final straw was the fact that the apartment directly upstairs in undergoing MAJOR RENOVATIONS and the construction noise started every day around 7:30 AM. I went up to speak to them, and learned that the unit had been undergoing construction for over 2 months. While I understand that the owner had no control over this, she did completeky fail to mention the fact that we'd besleeping under a construction zone for the duration of our trip. We looked desperately for another unit to rent, but could not find one large enough for our group, so we were stuck. When I contacted Airbnb, they told me we were stuck with the bill because we hadn't informed them before 24 hours had passed. They also reported that the landlord said we broke all the furniture, etc., and that the unit was pristine before we arrived. This is an absolute falsehood and delusional on the owner's part. I have spent over 30 years restoring vintage homes and furniture. No one in our party broke anything. So, be aware that the owner is a liar on top of all else. This apartment is an architectural gem that has been decimated throughlack of upkeep and investment. It is an absolute shame what has happened to what once was a lovely space. Really sickening. So, if you rent this space, get it in writing that the construction is OVER and when you see what a put it truly is, contact Airbnb right away and ask to be moved. Do not make the mistakes we did and expect the host to be reasonable or for things to get better.
