This apartment has a lot going for it in terms of neighbourhood. It is clean, decently appointed, and in a charming building.
With that said, the host is absent, so there is no one overseeing routine repairs. A third-party call center has been appointed to clean and “manage” the property, but they are not equipped to go beyond the basics. I had issues ranging from the annoying (broken lights, an unhinged toilet seat) to the really not OK (broken bed, no hot water for the shower).
Ultimately Airbnb intervened since the call center could not provide a solution for the broken bed or electrical issues. The shower hot water is operating on a temporary fix. I was booked for an extended stay and was refunded to leave early.
