this was, by far, our most disappointing airbnb experience. the apartment is very close to the Subway station which is the real reason to stay there. other then that- there are two high floors of narrow steps to climb up and down daily, the staircase smells bad. the apartment itself is noisy (even comparing to NYC)- a lot of cars with luod music, a loud all night party one night, police activity another night). there were also many mosquitos and we all got bitten heavily. the aircondition is only in the livingroom and one of the bedrooms and can't get the whole place in a comfortable temperature. there is no washing machine, and no soap/shampoo in the shower. our experience with Derick was also hard, especially as he did not allow us to leave our luggage later then 3:30 which was not as promissed. we are used to travel airbnb and had great experience in many places in Europe, and this was a real disappointment for us.
