Picture a run-down version of the listing photos. “My last 4-5 guests said it was completely fine” was how Anthony responded when I asked why it wasn’t mentioned that half of the shower door is missing! That was a big disappointing surprise. Had he made note of it, would have made sense. There is no parking but it’s not even mentioned in the listing. I’ve stayed other places that note that in the listing. Guests don’t want a bunch of surprises. This place is just a cash cow with minimum cleanings between guests. We found dirty light switches and a dirty q-tip upstairs. When I sent a bunch of pictures he promised a deep cleaning the next day while we were out of the apartment. Some of the areas were cleaned but there were still dirty light switches. I took photos before and after. Gross. Especially with Covid, you expect to xtra cleanliness. The coffee maker doesn’t get cleaned between stays, it’s dirty where the pods go in. There are open tab detergent containers in the patio so watch out with children. The inside of the door always says it’s locked even when it’s not so be sure to double check it. There is no “guestbook” in the apartment like every other Airbnb has had that we booked. Here’s the private message I just sent to Anthony - Hi, the numbers on your stove/oven knobs are completely rubbed off. I couldn’t get the oven on. Your toilet seat snapped off, my husband popped it back on. Your bathroom sink is loose and comes away from the wall. It would be helpful to have a long stick/handle attachment to open your high windows. There’s no step stool to reach them. The table stools spin so it’s not possible to stand on those even if we wanted to. The area next to the washer and dryer are a mess and not clear like the listing photos. The back patio looks very sloppy. The cover is lopsidedly on the bbq. There’s a knocked over planter, trellises leaning against the walls like they’ve been forgotten. I think it would look nicer not to have a mini blind in the corner of the room and the shower door under the stairs. Again, a temporary curtain would be sufficient while you fixed the shower door. The walls have marks all over them as well as the living room column. There are extra pillows but some extra blankets would be great. The front patio has missing cushions (unlike the listing photo). Your planters in front have weeds. Just generally unkept. Having cleaners in between guests isn’t enough, the place needs better maintenance.
At no fault of Anthony- it’s super loud there and homeless people outside. Pro- location if you want to be in Little Italy.
