The communication with the host is excellent and self checkin process straight forward. Location is great and the value for this location appropriate.
However the place quality was worse than expected and/or on the pictures. Following caused that we would not book a second time: bathtub silicone heavily moldy even if place declared as renovated (can’t be seen on the pics), extremely loud aircon, huge amount of (vanilla) air freshener used before arrival causing breathing discomfort, used band aid sticked in the TV cabinet. Broken deadbolt doesnt give a safe place feeling. I think it is also very rare, after charging $70 cleaning fee for one night, to have announcements all over the studio asking to remove your rubbish, clean yourself from sand before entering the studio, etc. (its not the intention to bring dirt in and it is also not an issue to empty rubbish bin, just in connection with this high cleaning fee not common and we did not experience this anywhere else when booked over airbnb). Studio decoration might be bit less (contains everything from half naked roman women statue, 200 years old painting replica, abstract painting, arabic carpet on the wall, indian totems,....however this doesn’t have an impact on the rating - somebody may like it.
