This has been my worst Airbnb experience so far. BUT...it's important to note that the team at The Bindel was extraordinary. The communication was always fast and polite. They solved every problem they could.
It's also important that this review is for an apartment at the Corazon, not Soco based on a slight mix up.
Pros about the apartment: covered secure parking, great location.
First, the only complaint about the host is that the apartment isn't as well-equipped as I'm used to. I was there for a couple months. There were like 8 hangers, no toilet brush, no cleaning supplies, no outdoor furniture, and minimal kitchen utensils. For some people that might not matter but if you like to cook in, you should know.
Other things of note: the bedroom has large slat blinds so light comes in and it's hard to make the bedroom dark. The apartment was infested with bugs...even in the fridge which I've never seen before. The host tried to get it taken care of but there's only so much you can do. So i couldn't have any food in the apartment that wasn't sealed. And no produce.
This apartment (420) was right next to the trashroom. So there is a ton of noise and even more bugs than other apartments, I imagine. It's also right at the stairs and the freight elevator. Next time I use a serviced apartment I would ask about the exact location, assuming the apartments available are the hardest ones to rent. I would also always google the building for reviews before I confirmed a reservation. This one had a lot of complaints about safety and homeless people. I didn't experience any of this during my stay.
The other guests/residents are so messy it's shocking. There was trash in the halls every day, and dog poop in the hall and on the stairs. I've lived in many apartment buildings and have never seen anything like it.
So in a nutshell, I might rent another Bindel apartment but I'd ask a lot more questions about the location first and would know I needed to bring more of my own stuff. But, I would not spend another night in this actual apartment. In fact, I left 8 days early as I was just over it.
