I was going to refrain from posting this review, as it is overall negative, but I realize that it would not be helpful to the host or future guests to do so. My stay was awful from day 1. First, when receiving check-in information, I was told that the “apartment” I was renting was actually the basement of someone’s home. Had that been made clear in the listing, I wouldn’t have booked in the first place. Second, upon arrival, the space was visibly dirty and my partner discovered that the toilet didn’t flush. There was also a sign (just a torn up piece of thin cardboard) that said no flushing of toilet paper. If the toilet isn’t able to withstand toilet paper, the space should not be rented. There was no full sized trash can in the kitchen, just three small trash cans in the space available for use. She didn’t even take the time to put actual trash bags in the trash can, we were given plastic shopping bags and had take out the trash daily. I let Laura know about the toilet and how the entire apartment, even the bathroom, was not clean by any means. I sent pictures and she sent over maintenance and a cleaning lady. Unfortunately, the cleaning lady did not bring her own tools to clean with like I was expecting, but rather used the dirty cleaning tools that were left out in the open in the kitchen. Part of the reason I booked an Airbnb was so I’d be able cook for myself on my trip, but because of the conditions it was in, I just ended up eating out for an entire week. Laura also told me the basement was newly renovated, but there are holes and cracks in every nook and cranny of the basement. She halfway placed a carpet over a hole in the ground with a wood covering. Even the wallpaper had holes and tears. There wasn’t a mirror available besides the one in the bathroom and the tiny decorative ones. There were also roaches and gnats that kept popping up during my stay. I was offered a partial refund for my troubles, but I couldn’t fully enjoy my trip knowing what I had to go back to. While Laura was available to address my concerns, I do not feel this space is suitable to be advertised on Airbnb. There is no heating or AC, but there was a space heater and fan (maybe? I’m unsure, I only used one space heater) provided for us. Also, if it matters to some, there is no television or bathroom essentials available. I don’t watch television and I always travel with my own hygiene tools, so this was not an issue for me. Just something to keep in mind should you decide to book.
