Please be aware that there is a big German shepherd next door. When you enter the gate he will bark at you and there is a small opening where he can fit his face into so please be careful. I wish the hosts would have stated that there was a dog. The dog barks at almost anyone walking by or entering the gate so please be mindful of that.
In addition, my first night staying here I was unable to take a shower because the water was ice cold; we barely had heat in the apartment to the point where we had to request portable heaters to stay warm. When I contacted the host about the heat and hot water they were very argumentative and kept telling me that there is heat and hot water. I became so frustrated that I asked them to come down and check for themselves.
A man came downstairs and spoke no English so we couldn’t communicate properly. He then turned on the sink in the kitchen and bathroom and was trying to show me that the water was warm. When I put my hand to the sink it was now lukewarm; however, the water in the shower was cold. I kept telling him I can’t take a shower in the sink and I need hot water not lukewarm water. Since we couldn’t communicate he eventually left and the host kept messaging me to check the water in 10 minutes. 10 minutes turned into 2 hours. Please keep in mind this is my 2nd day as a guest with no shower. My room was freezing cold too and I couldn’t rest. However, about an hour later the water was hot but still not enough heating so we just relied on the portable heaters that was delivered later on.
Also, the sofa sleeper was falling apart, the shower was leaking and water kept getting on the bath rug, the kettle does not work so I couldn’t even make a hot cup of tea when I was cold. And with all of these issues the host offered me $9 of my money back. At this point I realized the hosts have no clue what they’re doing.
So with everything I have stated, it’s absolutely up to you if you want to book this Airbnb. I’m only sharing my experiences
