I am writing this review from my warm, comfortable HOTEL ROOM because, you guessed it, this Airbnb booking was disastrous. Though it advertised air conditioning and hot water, this property had neither. The master bedroom had no heating nor it had an air conditioner in it and the attached bathroom had freezing cold running water. I am not a Himalayan Hindu monk to fancy a cold water bath during winters, sorry.
I believe there was what you can call an air vent in the living area but all that came out from it was cold air. There was an air conditioner in the living area, but that did not work either. The lights in the living area did not work too. I guess if there were a few more equipments in the apartment, I might have had something else to say about it as well. Not sure if that's a good thing or bad.
The second bedroom was so large that you would ideally need at least two air conditioning units to heat it up because the heating in there was clearly not working. But then it only had a single AC unit and you have to stand right next to it, with your palms facing then air vent, to feel the hot air.
The electric kettle was stained so badly that I wouldn't even wish my enemy to drink water from it.
The cherry on top was the complete lack of response from the host who, I'm sure, was aware of these issues. Nothing else explains their behavior.
To make things worse, the response from Airbnb wasn't in a timely fashion either. I went out on a limb and booked my hotel rooms without any assurance that Airbnb would give me a full refund. But to their credit, in the end the refund did come through because the apartment truly was a tragedy.
