Unfortunately it was filthy and not as advertised. It was tidy, but not clean. It seems as though no upgrades or deep cleaning has been done on the place for years. Sheets and pillows had stains, dust was clumped everywhere, there were crumbs and stains all over chairs, a film of crud over every surface, utensils were dirty, food splatter all over the walls in the kitchen, ragged and dirty rug - the list goes on. The lightbulbs in the lamps were broken and we had to go buy bulbs to replace them (though he did offer to pay us back for the bulb). We didn’t want to touch anything or use anything in the apartment.
The chairs were so worn out that you were basically sitting directly on the wooden frames. There was no place to put your stuff other than on the floor because all closet space was taken up haphazardly. Not to mention the HORRIBLE internet which meant my wife had to hotspot all phones and work laptop in order to get any work done.
We were so uncomfortable in the space that we left after one day of our stay (booked for 5). When we voiced our concern with the host, he immediately sent someone to our door (at 8am) unannounced. The host was unwilling to even consider a refund when first requested despite photos of the issues and the cleaner stating there were problems. We had to get Airbnb directly involved because of the severe misrepresentation of what we booked.
It feels as though little thought is put into the place. There is ZERO closet space for putting away clothes. The bed and pillows are lumpy and extremely uncomfortable.
Bathroom was clean but other than this, nothing positive to say. Our worst Airbnb experience and seems as though it is a host fully taking advantage of guests with no expense or care at all. My wife and I both lived in New York (Brooklyn) for years and completely understand the quirks of Brooklyn apartment and have also stayed in many lived in airbnbs - this was beyond just apartment quirks and a lived in Airbnb. We should have heeded prior bad reviews of this place.
