GADZOOKS, was said when I walked into this place...
The whole area needs to be gutted. I can't imagine anything down there has been upgraded since the house was built. It honestly smells like an outhouse...it reeks of mold, mildew, and must. They use some sort of air freshener and it is absolutely nasty smelling, I kept the door to the "kitchen" closed the entire time. This listing states and shows there is a freezer available...this is no longer true. He has changed the fridge/freezer to only a mini fridge with a freezed out freezer space. The "kitchen" is not a true kitchen, it's jerry rigged together. The "sink" is a laundry sink, I bought water gallons rather than drink out of there.
There is no door or lock for you to lock yourself away from the owner/owner area. You are in his basement and they live upstairs. You enter through the side door which is locked to the outside. When you walk in there is a door to the right that leads to the owners kitchen...you do not have the option to lock this door. It only locks from the inside. You also do not have a lock on your bedroom door. I do not consider this an "entire apartment" when I am unable to protect myself and lock myself away from strangers. I am a single female and this is incredibly dangerous. Shame on Airbnb for not doing better about these things.
The shower floor was FULL of a previous guests hair. I was unable to shower as I was thoroughly disgusted. Not much space for personal items in the bathroom.
You do not have access to the heating/air conditioning thermostat. It is located upstairs in the main house. This was not an issue for me as the temperature was to my liking.
All in all, booked this for the freezer, a place to sleep, shower...I could only do 1/3 - sleep. I would never recommend this place to anyone.
