DO NOT STAY HERE IT IS A SCAM I have been using Airbnb for over five years and never had an experience as horrible as I had here. Upon arriving to the building we were locked out for two hours attempting to open the apartment with the keys provided in the lock box. It was the right key for sure but the door itself would not open, we had multiple people attempt to open the door with the same keys thinking we must be doing it wrong somehow. Host was completely unresponsive. We had no choice but to call a locksmith after two hours attempting to get the door open. Turns out the lock was completely broken and the locksmith company had told us multiple times in their professional opinions there was absolutely no way for us to get in without having changed the locks completely. We did not want to do this because it was not our home but we payed over 500 dollars for a three day stay and had no other choice. It was 400 dollars out of pocket, we informed the host of the issue in great detail the entire time, and had no response until four days later after our stay that we were not to be refunded and would be charged another locksmith fee she was charged claiming to have been locked out of her own apartment even though we left her the new keys and informed her of exactly what had happened to us. We were spoken to very rudely, she was completely unsympathetic of the issue and threatened to charge us more money. To this day we have not been contacted by the host after multiple attempts to sort the situation out.
Lock issue aside this place is not worth nearly the amount that is being charged. The entire building is completely noisy at every hour of day and night. The hallways had cat feces on every level. Trash in the hallways as well and residents smoking cigarettes on stairwells constantly. Inside the apartment the cat box (right next to the kitchen) had not been cleaned in what looked like weeks, i felt so sorry for the sweet cat. Anytime he would use his box the entire apartment would smell of cat pee and poop. The beds were very uncomfortable and there is no fan or privacy when using the bathroom or shower due to the apartment being very small in itself. We had payed for a two bedroom apartment but this place is completely unsuitable for more than one or two people. With all the stress and money spent over the course of our stay you might as well pay for a hotel room or rent a single room on Airbnb. Nothing about this place was worth one cent or one minute of our time, all we did was leave with a horrible experience having lost 400 dollars to fix this girls broken door, and to be threatened days later to have more of our money taken from us.
