This review is not meant to tear down Andres as a host, but is instead meant to improve the health and safety conditions of this unit. This Airbnb would have been a fine place to stay, except for the presence of black mold on a significant portion in the ceiling above the shower. When I sent a picture of the significant amount of black mold to the host, he said it was from a recent repair and denied that it was black mold. However, I tend to have an allergic reaction when exposed to molds and after staying in this unit and showering in that bathroom one night, I woke up with symptoms consistent with those I experience when exposed to mold. I also sent a photo of the shower to my dad, who is a home repair and remodeling expert and to Airbnb support and they all confirmed it was black mold. I asked Andres if he could have someone fix this issue and he again denied that it was mold, so Airbnb gave me a refund since the mold violated their terms. If the mold issue was fixed, this would be a solid place to stay, so I do sincerely hope that changes in the near future.
Additionally, I think it is important to note that while this listing says there is a washer and dryer (which is something I filter for when searching for Airbnbs), it's actually just a laundry room for the building outside of the unit that you have to download an app to use and pay for, rather than an in-unit washer and dryer. If you're not planning on doing laundry, then this shouldn't be an issue, but if you seek out Airbnbs that have laundry access, then this might be an issue for you as well.
