When first booking this apartment, I knew the space would not be the nicest based on the photos but I chose to go ahead and save on the cost due to the location and balcony view. Do I ever regret it!!!
Upon arrival the first thing I noticed was a leak in the bathroom that caused the floor to constantly be covered in water. I told the owner about it and he told me he would have someone come the next day to fix it .... it took 2 days and he was only sent after I told the owner I was leaving because of the horrible condition of the apartment.
The place was absolutely filthy. Built up grim on the light switch that would cause the button to stick. Black mold on the bathroom ceiling. Stains on the couch and carpet. Food stuck on plates that I had not used. Dirty sheets in the closet. There was even food left in the refrigerator that did not belong to me, including milk that had an expiration date of February 18 .... I arrived on March 22nd. When I told the owner about this he apologized and said the cleaning lady never cleaned the place after the last tenant checked out.
Other issues: the WiFi is actually the WiFi of the hotel next door and only gives off an occasional weak signal in one corner. The molding on the walls were falling off and a cover to a gap on the floor was broken. There is a broken painting with staples and nails sticking out and wires hanging from the ceiling where a light fixture should be. There was a constant draft since the doors would not fully close and the heater did not work (mind you it happened to snow during my stay).
Worst part is the owner initially agreed to process a refund then went on to say that he would only do it after seeing my review. After I told him I would not be writing a positive review, he ignored my messages regarding the refund and now I am working with Airbnb to get a refund.
Save your money and sanity and find another place to stay in.
