The best that can be said about this place is that the location is great and the host is responsive. The place was reasonably clean, although there was a lack of ventilation and the place was damp/dank for most of our stay (blame it on the summer heat and the fact that it is a basement). Unfortunately there was a persistent presence of cockroaches (what the host euphemistically called “water bugs” and “local/regional pests”). My frustration however is not with the host (who offered only a two night refund for a two week stay and offered a number of methods of fumigation, none of which we were comfortable with given the lack of ventilation), but with Airbnb who failed to call take care of us as they had done in the past. They dragged their feet for so long that we ended up disputing the charge with our credit card company and booking a hotel. Our third party member could not afford to do this. We would have left sooner had Airbnb been as responsive as we know they can be and have been in the past for far less. Between a local property owner capitalizing on the process of gentrification that Airbnb brings with it and a multinational corporation, I place the blame and responsibility on that corporation. Ultimately we are Airbnb’s customer and not the host’s, and we expect them to do right by us as they did once upon a time.
