Cons:
- Floors were sticky
- Toilet paper rolls not restocked
- Place did not smell clean
- No instructions in apartment for wifi password (had to use data to log into the air bnb website to find it, usually hosts put it on a welcome sheet)
- Baseboards were dirty
- Holes in the drywall and cupboards
- Shower head not fully working - shower pressure was very low and not coming out of the head evenly
- Cleaning sponge (we needed to use something to clean the shower before using it) had hair tangled on it
- Neighbourhood did not feel safe (tent city on the same block)
Pros:
- A/C worked great
- Bed was comfortable
- Spacious
Overall, my group was very surprised that Sammy was a super host. The overall cleanliness of an airbnb is very important - especially when it is at this price. There is a lot this apartment can improve on. Definitely needs a maintenance check. The location was central and convenient for Ubering but definitely did not feel that safety factor that I would expect. Sammy was great at responding but was also pushy for getting a 5 star review. I believe that you earn a 5-star review and do not bribe your guests for it. If you want a 5-star review please put work into the apartment.
