There were multiple problems with this apartment. For starters, when we arrived the main door to the building was wide open, We later realised that this door, in fact does not close at all, so anyone could have walked in throughout the weekend. Upon entering the apartment, the first thing we noticed was the awful smell lingering, mainly associated with the kitchen and the front room. We had to immediately go out and purchase a Febreeze it was so offensive. In the main bathroom, there were skid marks in the toilet, and a lighter had been left in the sink, in the front room there were used Co2 canisters on the floor. That is not acceptable.
We arrived at around 7pm so it was dark outside, the lighting in all of the rooms was so dim that you couldn’t see anything. When looking around, many things differed from the images on the listing; the doors separating the front and back room had been pulled off the hinges, the sofas were different, smaller and only 3 not 4 as advertised. The listing also states that there are 4 sofa beds, only 2 of the 3 of the sofas were sofa beds with bedding supplied.
The images on the Airbnb listing are very deceiving; it shows one room pictured twice but with a completely different furniture lay out, making it look like an additional room with 2 extra beds. The main bathroom had a window which linked to the kitchen and when stood in the kitchen you can see right into the bathroom and directly looks at the shower, ensuring no privacy. The shower had 2 heads but only 1 was functioning. Whilst in the shower the temperatures were very inconsistent, it was either burning hot or freezing cold. The lock on the door of the smaller bathroom was broken, again ensuring no privacy.
I booked this apartment for 13 people. With the beds provided, that allowed enough space for 10 people to sleep comfortably (2 in each double bed - one of which was just a mattress on the floor). The sofa beds provided were extremely hard and very uncomfortable. One of which we weren’t able to use as it kept collapsing underneath us when laying or sitting down. There was a handful of mattresses scattered across the apartment which weren’t shown or mentioned on the listing and I can see why - they were rock solid and had no bedding provided.
Aside from this the location is great, the communication with the host was very good and fast. Unfortunately the cons outweigh the pros and I will not be staying again or recommending.
