Let me start with the pros: checking in was easy with the lock box provided.
But to be honest, this was a horrible Airbnb experience. The A/C is in the living room. It does not make it to the bedroom. If you’re here in summer, good luck. We opened the window and had the fan on in the bedroom, but every morning at 5-6am, the restaurant next door would begin opening up which would involve an hour of garbage being thrown out and the food getting cooked. It smelled horrible. The bathroom opens up to everybody else’s bathroom out of the window so you can hear everything at all times of the day. On one morning, we were woken up by the restaurant, tried to sleep more, then woken up by someone screaming bloody murder in their bathroom. The mattress is the worst. It just mushes around and has absolutely no support. Getting into the apartment is pretty creepy in itself. Entering through the alleyway really was the worst. The inside of the building smells like lead paint. The neighboring apartment would take their bird cage and put it in the hallway everyday. The wood shavings in the crate were strewn all over the carpet in the hallway. All in all, we barely slept all weekend. And to top it all off, the host is claiming our dogs broke a rack in their fridge and our dogs made here weatherstripping on the front door peel a tiny bit. If we weren’t out with our dogs, we had our dogs in the bedroom or crated the entire time we stayed here. I don’t know how a dog is breaking fridge racks. And the weatherstripping appeared to have been painted over many times, leading it to crack away from the door very slightly. Very normal wear and tear situation. Instead, after our horrible stay, this host is fighting tooth and nail to charge us an exorbitant amount of money for 2 small issues that were not in any way our fault. Beware of this place, it was one of the worst airbnbs we’ve ever stayed at.
