We had booked this airbnb after seeing the pictures of the nicely decorated 1 bedroom appartment (very nice colors). Our happiness quickly came to a halt though once we arrived at the appartment and tried opening the door for more than 15 minutes...After much appreciated assistance from Sam, we managed to get in. Still, we were again really disappointed when we realized that we did not have sheets for the sofa bed even though we had booked the airbnb for 3 people. Again, Sam responded swiftly but we felt too many basic things were lacking in this airbnb (bathmat, bottled water, coffee) especially when you take into consideration the 3 page rule we had to read after booking it, we expected a very good level of service (to the level of what was expected of us as guests). What we received fell short of our expectations. Last but not least, the neighborhood is not the best as it feels abandoned and poverty stricken. Case in point: A homeless person was taking a nap in front of our Building door, he seemed harmless but it was still very scary having to wake him up for us to be able to enter the building and trust he will not become violent. Therefore, for security purposes, the black gate needs to be fixed as it remained broken throughout our stay.
Other things to note: the sofa bed in the living room is not made for sleeping on. It was, to say the very least, extremely uncomfortable to sleep in. One could feel all the metal wires. The light in the corridor was on 24/7, and could not be turned off and would lit up the whole living room at night. The apartment was not cleaned probably, under the sofa bed there was dust, and empty water bottles, the floor was very dirty, our feet were completely black when walking on it. The towels had a funky smell to them and the bathtub was clogged.
On the positive side, the place was beautifully decorated and designed, the Wifi was fast and considering that the highway was just in front of the house, the noise level was not too bad.
