First off, the apartment is massive. The pictures don’t showcase just how big it is. The location is also fantastic. Good restaurants all around and it’s a short 5 minute walk to the subway.
However, the downside is the lack of cleanliness. The apartment was extremely dirty. My husband and I took photos when we arrived but AirBnB doesn’t allow you to post photos. There were crumbs and hairs in the bed sheets. We bought all new bedding and left it there. The shower had mold between all the tiles so we bought bleach and did a deep clean of the bathroom. The floors of the apartment were very dirty. We tried using the vacuum available but it didn’t pick anything up. The dishes in the cabinet were all dirty. Some had pieces of food stuck on them. From all the AirBnB’s we’ve been to, we’ve never experienced anything like this.
Also, make sure to carefully read all house rules. If you open house rules, scroll down and click “show more” there is a $30 charge per night for any guest who stays the night. We didn’t realize that and had booked the apartment for 4 months with plans to have our family visit for a few days, in the second bedroom.
