Horrible check-in. Buzzer and intercom are broken. Spent frustrating 30 min outside the building. Had to ask a stranger to let me use her phone since mine doesn’t work in the US.. Maria’s didn’t respond. Called Julio in Washington who located Maria at the Laundry room. Check-out was horrible too. Maria demanded that I leave at 9:30 am!; Julio later changed it to 10 am and later we compromised on 11 am as an Airbnb rep intervened.
The room is tiny with very little room for your stuff. No place to hang cloth inside the room. There is a piano chair with no back --inconvenient to lay your cloth on it at night. There is a dresser with drawers. A closet with hanger exists outside the room. You may feel uncomfortable with 3 males walking around in their underwear. The kitchen is overstuffed with supermarket items and kitchen tools, often barely leaving counter surface to work on. Even the cutting board is half covered with Jars and knives. I often found unwashed items in the sink even though the host requires you to wash after yourself. While I was assigned the top shelf in the refrigerator I often found that the host kept placing items there, sometimes moving my items to other areas.
The elevator was out of service on two days forcing me to climb six floors.
On the positive note -- The family is friendly, especially the two adult sons. There is a subway stop across the street, and the area is safe. The room features a TV and A/C.
