Check in felt unsafe because they sent someone I didn’t know at the last minute to let me in. There was a lot of dust, dirt, a used q-tip under the couch, and I felt the need to wear flip flops the whole time. The apartment definitely cannot accommodate 4 people. My friends and I were struggling with 3 people.
The host was quite rude. When I asked him why basic amenities were not provided by him (ex: enough toilet paper for 3 people staying for a week, washing detergent, etc), I was rudely told to get it myself. When I asked about the lay of the land and where the nearest convenience store was, I was told to look it up. When I called to report a power outage in the building, he didn’t pick up and later told me that he pays the electricity bill so that problem had nothing to do with him. When I asked for help arranging transport to the airport for my friends and myself, I was told to figure it out again and drag our heavy luggage around until we could hail a taxi.
The building was dirty, smelly, we were told to handle garbage disposal after paying a cleaning fee, and the lack of an elevator and the overall lack of willingness on the host’s part to assist us made our stay extremely unpleasant.
I will concede that the location was great but that was the only positive. I would never recommend this stay to anyone.
