If you're reading this review you should notice large gaps between review dates so either the host is getting bad reviews deleted or guests aren't wasting their time warning others about this "quirky" flat. Flat description says "recently renovated" but the photos are at least 5 years old, there is no laundry room, both showers have heavy mold growth and safety issues, seats of 1/2 the dining chairs are cracked, the nice sofa in the photos is now a worn out brown sofa with flat cushions. The apartment had not been cleaned after the last guest. There was debris and white dog hair on all the rugs. I had to wash mugs that someone had put on the shelf still dirty with coffee of tea in the bottoms. The ensuite shower appeared to have not been cleaned in at least a month since it was covered in black mold, broken tiles, hairs on the floor, and a 12" crack in the glass screen that was "fixed" with with window film. Lots of grout lines missing from shower & floor tile. Host's response to mold and broken tiles was to "send someone over" who supposedly told him "grout was missing because the tiles moves when people step on them causing grout to break and that this is supposed to happen. Only an idiot would believe his story- and he didn't address the heavy mold, nor was the bathroom cleaned. ( I have personally tiled 4 bathroom and 2 foyer floors, mastic is used to permanently adhere tile so they DON'T move and none of my grout has cracked or broken out. ) The heavy glass ensuite bathroom door was not adjusted or customized for the floor height so it drags & gouges the wood floor, making it extremely hard to close and open (host still hasn't fixed this issue noted in a review from years ago when he blamed the wood floor) . My daughter found multiple mold stains on her bed sheets (happened to another guest, Niki January 2016). Host did replace the sheets the next day and as usual had an excuse (he said the sheets were left wet for a week because the cleaner lost their key). Host told me the clothes washer was broken the day before we checked in even though I asked if it was working almost 2 weeks earlier. He said it would be replaced but not earlier than the day before we checked out (it was not replaced as of Nov. 4, 2021). His solution was to take our dirty laundry "somewhere" and have it returned "the same or next day". This was not acceptable to us as we would never give our intimate garments and special care clothing to a stranger which is why we reserved a flat with a washer/dryer in the first place. The lights in the stairwell were out 2 of 4 nights and the note in the stairwell said it was because our flat had a sensor sparking issue. Host told Airbnb they would send an electrician out to fix the problem but only had someone turn the lights on (the motion sensor was buzzing, strobing, and sparking outside the flat door! Host conveniently had a note typed up mentioning all the "quirks" like how to restart the heater and how to get how water in the shower. How about fixing the problems instead of requiring paying guests to restart the heater?
Flat is in a great location but we had a very disappointing stay due to the detailed issues that the host had known about for years yet did nothing to fix. I wish I had booked a hotel instead.
