I hesitated to write this review as I usually try to keep it to myself if I have a bad experience. However, my experience at this Airbnb was nothing less than appalling. I stayed here for approximately 10 nights, paying nearly $1,500.00, and the only reason I didn’t complain is that I had no place else to go. The apartment is very dark in the damp basement with extremely low ceilings. The subterranean windows are dirty and covered in spider webs. My slippers were nearly black after the first two nights of walking on the grimy floors. The toilet and shower emit the foul odor of backed up sewer—I kid you not!—and the smell is at times nauseating. The heating comes from a single vent from upstairs, and the owners provide a tiny space heater—it was sub-freezing temperatures at night and I was literally shivering in bed. There were spiders in the kitchen and bathroom. The back yard through which you must pass to get to the basement door is full of weeds and mud. The noise from upstairs is outrageous, and you can hear nearly every word of conversation, TV and the pounding of feet on the floor sounds like an echo chamber. While I was there, there was a crying baby upstairs at all hours of the day and night as well as screaming, unruly children. I have stayed in dozens of Airbnb’s all over the world, and this one is among the most appalling. Clearly, the owners had some very nice photos taken but don’t be fooled as they are not representative of what you will experience. On the positive side, the bed is comfortable and there’s a great big flat screen TV. My advice: Run at full speed!
