Pros: The unit was clean, location was convenient. Everything else in the unit description was accurate except...
Cons: At the time of booking, both washer and dryer was described as included in amenities with no extra notes. Only during the check-in process (May 23rd), I was informed about a locked door to washer and dryer to the unit and "optional" cost for unlocking it.
The host explained his reasoning: he had too many weird guests wasting water by washing a single sock multiple times. Therefore, he decided to lock the laundry closet door and charge extra to his guest for unlocking access.
I told him I don't recall seeing extra cost, the host insisted he clearly indicated an optional cost and I must have missed it.
I believed the host was being honest, so I asked for the door to be unlocked and I agreed to pay ONCE I have confirmed the unit description after the dinner.
Once I confirmed there was no such description, I asked the host about the discrepancy in his listing to see if there was some misunderstanding. At this time, the host decided to do the following:
1. Changed the unit description during our conversation and claimed it was there all along.
2. My verbal agreement of paying him (after confirmation by the way) stands above his error.
3. Sent me a message: "Well it does not say its free also does it?"
4. Continue his friendly payment request off-the-record on a phone, while sending me a message: "Answer the phone"

Our interesting phone conversation did not lead anywhere unfortunately.
I obviously did not feel comfortable staying in the unit when a disgruntled host has access to the unit. I decided to check myself out on the same day of check in, and decided to stay in another hotel. AirBnB had to intervene to initiate a refund on their end.
tl;dr: If you wish to stay in this unit, please pay close attention to your booking details and any sudden change, especially related to payment. If you stayed in this unit just before May 23rd, you might be interested in reading the difference between your booking and current details.
