The sunrise view over the water is truly beautiful, however, I found the apartment as a whole to be a little disappointing.
Pros: free parking, easy self-check-in process, beautiful water views.
Cons: loud construction area, extremely passive-aggressive house rules, but worst of all— the cleanliness level was sub-par and the apartment is really showing its wear and age.
In my many years as an Airbnb customer, this is the first time I have really felt disappointed by a listing and felt compelled to warn others of my negative opinions of the place.
1. While the sheets were soft and seemed clean, I found light orange stains on the comforter and one of the towels I used.
2. The apartment felt very dusty and in need of a deep clean, especially in the bathroom. I found three different colors of hair on the walls and floor in the bathroom!! It felt as if many guests had cycled through without a single cleaning. It also had some strange brown rust stains under the sink and in the corner by the door. The window in the bathroom in the shower was also very dirty. Needless to say, this made me very uncomfortable.
3. Lighting is very dim at night — the entry way has a neon blue light that gave it a strange motel vibe, while two of the three lights in the main bedroom were non-functional. While I was showering, the bathroom light would occasionally flicker off and then back on.
4. Very aggressive rules posted in kitchen — this was the most unwelcoming, fussy “house rules” I’ve ever seen. Lots of ALL CAPs! with threats of additional fines if there is any evidence of “smell of any kind”, or “coffee residue in coffee maker or sink”, or failure to keep, “white liner inside and decorative curtain outside, do not use hair drying products”. Guests are also instructed to strip the bedding at the end of the stay.
So yes, the view from the bed is beautiful — but you’ll feel like you’re walking on egg shells not to leave any evidence of your stay, while having to put up with the filth of an uncleaned bathroom!
I suspect they don’t clean between guests, hence all the angry rules.
Unless this host improves their cleaning standards, I personally would not suggest staying here, although I will say the gorgeous sunrise view from the bedroom was a saving grace.
