I feel like I need to give a detail factual report for the future guest for this place.
1. While the outside of this complex looks good, the condition of the apartment is pretty worn out. This unit has 2 bedrooms, living room and a kitchen. You will not feel comfortable to walk bare foot on the carpet. The living room is very tiny (for our case, we have NO living room at all since the living was partitioned by a wooden Chinese wall furniture to make it into a bedroom with 2 cots ).
2. The AirBNB profile for this unit stated that a maximum of 5 guests could stay in this unit. We have 5 adults in our group and we did inform the owner at the beginning. She told us she lives in the 2nd bedroom. We did send a text to check if in any case, we could have the whole apartment for our reservation. She did not reply to that request. She did replied indicating that we will have 1 bedroom and 1 person will be sleeping in the living room on a cot. Since this is our mistake not reading that detail on the AirBNB profile, we continue with the booking. On the day of arrival, she informed us there will be another guest living in the 2nd bedroom. On the AirBNB ad, this place has a max of 5 guests. She argued that she had multiple Ads for this apartment. We feel like we have been cheated on this issue. We will bring this up to Airbnb and see if this is legal. This is not something we prepared/accepted in our agreement.
3. We prepared to sleep on sofa/pull out bed arrangement but to our great disappointment, the bed conditions are not up to minimal standard, one describe as we are living in refugee camp. An extremely small, flimsy, with no support whatsoever cot with a 1 inch’s foam bedsheet on the top in the bedroom. On the living room, there is a cot and single sofa bed. Each one has an inch’s foam bed mattress. The living room is partitioned into a bedroom by wooden Chinese wall furniture which sort of separated the living room from the kitchen. The cot is just a few inches away from the patio door; another sofa bed is just 3 steps away from the kitchen which is separated by the wooden Chinese wooden wall. There is space to store or organize any of our luggage. No surprises there aren’t any space for a TV. Yes, there is NO TV. Of course, there is no noise separation from the kitchen.
4. The only place that we could seat together and chat is a small dining table outside of the 2nd bedroom. When we chat we tried to speak softly because we do not want to disturb the 2nd guest in the 2ndbedroom. The guest that stayed at the 2ndbedroom commented that she was shock to see our group size and don’t think the place can accommodate us.
5. Another small incident which forced us not able to get into the unit. The guest that had already checked into the 2nd bedroom had mistakenly locked the door from the inside. We cannot check in until late at night.
6. Although there is a 2nd bathroom, but it is not shared. Not a big problem for us
