The apartment is spacious and aesthetically pleasing. The area where it is located in is very lively, mainly because it has all types of stores ranging from Footlocker right next to high end stores just a couple of minutes away. However, the Airbnb description pointed out that the apartment has two bedrooms when in fact it does not. What is described as a second bedroom is an attic containing a mattress. It is also important to point out that the apartment is located on the third floor of the building and has no elevator, this made it much harder to move in giving the fact that we had to physically carry our luggage up these three floors. In addition to this, the place was already full of the owner’s stuff. The fridge for instance was full in terms of space and most of the products inside were opened and used. The Pantry cabinets were filled with half used content and as a result we barely had space to put our own groceries and food. The living room also contained a clothing rack in the corner that was full of the owners clothing so we couldn’t fully unpack our luggage because there was no place to put our clothing and belongings. Last but not least, the air conditioning system in the unit was very frustrating because it would turn off on its own and it would change temperatures randomly during the night. We stayed in the unit during December when temperatures were very cold so the problem with the heater caused some of us to get sick and because of this we were forced to wake up in the middle of the night to readjust the air conditioning repeatedly.
The owner must advertise his apartment by giving a clear description of the bedrooms and the lack of elevator access, he must leave enough space for the belongings of his guests, and he must get the air conditioner system updated so that there’s no need to adjust it repeatedly throughout the day and night.
