The trip started off with very detailed checkin info from the host. Which I thought was above and beyond. The listing was listed at discounted rate to book the list few available days in the year I assumed so I jumped on booking my stay. The layout was a bit confusing especially checking in at the dark, I got a bit lost looking for building number but found it and followed check-in instructions. idk if it was just the part of the complex I stayed in or the whole complex but all surrounding areas around my building number reeked very strongly of cats and cat urine. I saw a dead cat and the leftovers of a cat birthing on the sidewalk in the open directly below where I walk up the building to the unit. super gross but not a direct issue regarding the host so I didn't complain to Airbnb. I learned in the daylight the next day, that my neighbors either have alot of cats that they feed outside in cat dishes (I saw at least 5 right below my stairs), or they feed all the street cat strays that are in plethora there. I felt relief once I opened the unit door because first glance it seemed nice inside at least and very moderately clean which was a delight. there entire stay the unit smelled like Indian food but seeing I like eating that food it didn't bother me really it was just a fact of the place.
To be honest the ragady appearance of the blinds(or the lack of) in most of the windows in all the buildings and the intense cat smell made me a little afraid.
The listing was accurate on the space and appearance of the listing. It is a much bigger space than I normally book or need but I booked for the current deal being offered. It was just me and my daughters. And we all had our own room and laid in bed relaxing on our phones or tablets, and caught up on much needed sleep. During my intial walkthrough, I noticed the kitchen was well stocked with cooking basics and bags, but lacked good utensils. The majority of the silverware was previously used and washed plastic forks. It didn't bother me for the most part because I ate take out for most meals. I did use the oven for frozen pizza dinner but the smoke alarm went off when the oven was preheating so didn't attempt again eventhough I did cook the pizzas regardless. The 1 time I used the microwave for cup of noodles my daughters chose at the gas station I noticed the plate that goes inside the microwave was missing but I didn't attempt to locate it much more than a quick glance in the cupboard above because I didn't plan on needing to use it again. The livingroom was nice enough with a TV that we utilized 1 night for a family movie but setup took a minute because the settings had some accessibility feature turned on where everything I was doing or clicking on was being said outloud like a live dialogue of my actions. super annoying although it did stop talking if a movie was played but it was too annoying to look for what we wanted to watch with it on so I searched through the settings until I figured out how to turn it off. I never tried the tv in my bedroom though. overall good enough place for what I need. I would consider booking again if I see it in the future with a good deal again, but wouldn't want to stay long term
stay sure to quality of everything outside the front door.
