The worst airbnb experience in more than 9 years using this platform to book accommodation across the world.
Let’s start with the minuses:
- Missing amenities (that are listed) : hairdryer, iron, water heater for shower not working most of the times, washer was not working at all.
- There is no dedicated workspace. There is no wi-fi. And a small dining cannot count as a dedicated workspace. I’ve actually missed the NO WIFI mention in the details. But that’s my bad of expecting to have internet connection in 2022.
- Appliances extremely old. Fridge and washer are literally held together by duct tape.
- Mouldy and cracked walls
- The entire place seems to be furnished with leftovers from either old apartments or closed bodegas.
- Location next to the airpot runway. Extremely high noises both from landing and takeoff from 6am until midnight. This is not “sometimes” or “depending on the wind”.
- Big cockroaches were coming out at night
Fist time entering the apartment there was no electricity. Wrote to the host and while waiting for a reply went out to check with the next door neighbour to see if this was maybe an issue in the entire complex. It was not. A kind lady from the complex showed me where the electric panel was and turned it on from the general switch.
The electric issue persisted throughout all of our stay, power was down multiple times a day. In the morning we woke up with no power. Every time we returned from our walks there was no power. Never used the AC. I was even afraid to leave anything plugged in unsupervised. Again, host was announced of this issue since day one. In the 3rd day the host said will send the electrician but no one showed up. I was instructed to try some different power switches combinations to see which one is faulty. I’m sorry for not wanting to do some electrical troubleshooting jobs during my vacation!
Not to mention the failure of the electrical panel is something very serious and dangerous if you do not know what you are doing!!
While writing this review I was also taking close attention to the older reviewers, all these details are in other guests comments as well..
After leaving early this nightmare accommodation, the host started to find blames and threatening us with additional costs claiming we left the AC ON. Which is not true and absurd as the electricity situation could not handle the AC power.
Overall unfriendly and unbothered host who wants max profits with minimal investment. If the night rates are competitive to 3-4* hotels in the same area, then the property better be impeccable.
