I was excited to stay here with my colleague for our work trip based on the reviews and photographs, but it was a disappointing experience. It is a large space with a photogenic kitchen, but not recommended for business travel. My colleague and I were not able to sleep in this residence; the apartment was very hot without a cooling system or fans and there were loud outside noises very early in the morning from garbage collection in addition to later at night from people on the street. The beds were hard/not comfortable resulting in minimal sleep for the stay. We ended up leaving a night early because we needed to sleep and it wasn’t possible in this space.
Other strange things - no flexibility on a slightly earlier check in time from 4 to 3pm - not a big deal but odd considering that on top of a $300 cleaning fee the hosts ask guests to strip the beds and start the laundry with towels which would in theory quicken turnover time. It didn’t feel like a super host experience with no check in from host upon arrival or during stay. In addition there was no additional toilet paper within the home outside of the half roll provided, the dryer was running when we arrived and many windows didn’t properly open which feels like a fire hazard. The street parking and hourly limitations were very challenging.
Do not recommend as this was my first negative airbnb experience.
