I’ll cover the good & the bad
Good
- Excellent location
- Super nice & modern building
Bad
- The cleaning person wasn’t done until about 4:30. I text the host a few days before confirming we could check in at 3pm (just 30 min before the standard 3:30pm check-in time). The host confirmed this would be okay. However upon arrival the door was locked and the cleaning person was still there working. We literally had to beat on the door for ~30 minutes before she heard us and let us in. Meanwhile, I’m on the phone with the host company and they’re telling me no one should be in the apartment and I should be able to get in. The cleaning person was super nice but we couldn’t do anything besides sit in the living room until she finished. We had an early reservation that we missed because of this inconvenience - we couldn’t get dressed because she was cleaning and moving from room to room. And even if we had the opportunity to freshen up and leave, we couldn’t leave our belongings and valuables with a stranger still in the apartment. The host said they would refund the cleaning fee. So far, I’ve only received half of the refund and they’ve stopped answering my messages requesting the full amount
- The apartment has so much potential but it’s not well maintained. The walls are highly scuffed and it looks really bad. A paint job would do wonders
