These are the risks I take when I book a listing with no reviews. Unless the hosts truthfully updates the listing to a one bedroom. I’d recommend everyone avoid, and honestly based on the hosts response to the issues being brought up to them I’d just avoid this host in general.
This place is not a two bedroom. I rented it as a two bedroom and that is clearly misrepresented. It is a one bedroom along with a maybe 9x7 area off the kitchen. This area does not have a door, or a window or a closet, all requirements for a legal bedroom anywhere I’ve ever seen.
I brought up this issue to the host the first night, but they insisted this was a legal two bedroom, this is likely not true, since it was sold to them two months ago and listed as a one bedroom when they purchased it with the exact same layout. The fact that i asked the host about the second bedroom and they lied to me is really unacceptable. After I brought up the issue to the host they apologized and said they had other apartment in the building, but they actually told me I’d need to pay extra if I wanted another one for the second night, well I paid for two bedrooms, so you kinda need to provide me with a two bedroom, you did not do that and then had the audacity to ask me to pay more to get what I booked to begin with. In the interest of full disclosure the host also offered to refund my second night if I wanted to leave, but considering the cleaning fee was 50% of the rental they were offering to refund less than 25% of the total cost, if I left the next morning after spending maybe 12 hours in the apartment. This was of course also unacceptable.
Otherwise the apartment was nice, had I booked a one bedroom with an additional tiny sleeping alcove I would have been happy with it. Unfortunately I booked a two bedroom and I did not receive that, and when given the opportunity to rectify the issue the host totally failed.
TLDR: Host lied about it being a two bedroom, it is in fact a book one bedroom. They know it’s a one bedroom but are misrepresenting it as a two to make more money. Any questions just look up the listing on Zillow, they purchased it in December with the same layout and it was listed as a one bedroom.
