We chose this place based on previous 5 star reviews. My guess is, none of these individuals stayed for more than a day or 2. Had we seen the review posted in September from a long-term stay, we definitely would have booked elsewhere. This place has a lot of potential, but it is not set up for long term stays. We arrived to a completely clogged shower drain, hair all over the bathroom, and no hot water. Clearly the place had not been cleaned prior to our arrival. The host did come and clean the shower the next day, however it took us a week to get the hot water issue improved. I say improved, because the water never really got hot. This was particularly an issue with cleaning dishes, very unsanitary. As the week went on, we found other things. The kitchen setup is not safe, very easy for water to mix with electrical appliances, no way for water to drain into the sink when cleaning dishes so it ends up all over the floor. Many of the lights in the apartment don't work, resulting in essentially having to cook food in the dark. As mentioned in the listing there are quite a few steps to climb between the parking spot and the apartment. There are no outdoor lights, so it is quite dark when you come home in the evenings. For the price we paid, we just feel that all of these things should have been sorted prior to our arrival. Not our job to audit the problems with this apartment, the owner lives on site so should be aware. I have never left a bad review on Airbnb before, but just feel that others should be warned. The time we spent trying to fix all of the issues just added more stress to an already stressful time for us, trying to relocate across the country. Am hopeful that the owner sorts these issues before the next person books, otherwise don't say we didn't warn you. We have requested a partial refund but so far Airbnb has been of minimal help. This was by far my worst Airbnb experience.
