Carl is a nice guy, he tried to help, however the way he is listing this property is very misleading.
The place is under construction. There are tools and exposed surfaces and pipes everywhere. The pictures do not show this and that is not a professional way of advertising a listing.
And this is not a new issue that the host has, if you go through the reviews, people have mentioned this “renovation” process since 2015.
Also, the WiFi was not working when I was there and I made it very clear that I depend on it. Host said he has issues with it. Again, if you check the reviews people had complaints about that before and he did not fix it.
He offered to let me use his computers (which surprisingly has internet connection, but the WiFi is not working). That was nice of him, but that is not what I signed up for. I can not move all my documents and use it on another device. If your place does not have WiFi, do not list it as one of the amenities.
Lastly, there were no towels. It is ridiculous to expect me to stay the weekend and shower and not offer me at least a towel when I’m paying $49 a night for a place that is under construction.
I booked this place for 3 nights, and had to leave it after 1 night only. Luckily Airbnb were by my side and helped me with another reservation which was a million times better than this one.
