Denis was not a great communicator from the start; the day before we arrived, I finally emailed asking for check-in details as he'd never sent them. When we arrived, we found no instructions of any kind, which the apt desperately needs. There is only one panel of light switches in the entryway, so six switches a on one panel - with no indication of which is for what. After messing around forever we figured it out (there are some that won't work unless another is switched one way) but the entryway light never worked, a pity as the full length mirror is there so it was hard to get ready for going out in such poor lighting.
This apt is way better looking in photos than in real life: it's far smaller and super pokey; the shower is utterly tiny for anyone over 5'4, the bedroom has little space between the bed and the walls and the bathroom overall is really small. Other issues included a very rude and unresponsive host. Denis prefers 1-2 word text replies which was entirely unhelpful; as the induction cooker wouldn't work, I asked for instructions and got 'turn on off' and 'it's induction' and 'put pan on,' - all things I told him I'd already tried. We gave up after awhile as he was in no mood to answer intelligently or coherently.
The dining table was sticky, there were gnats flying everywhere and the apt was stuffy and humid. While there was a fan, it was broken - just like the spotty WiFi and cable TV, which actually didn't work at all. The lumpy mattress on the bed was so u comfortable we left after two of our three days and checked into a hotel.
The only good part was the location.
Renter, beware. I was swept up by the positive reviews, but as Airbnb let's hosts opt out of publishing negative reviews by simply not writing a review about the guest, now I know where all the other reviews have gone.
