STAY AWAY AT ALL COST
I have to start by saying that the pictures are misrepresentative of the apartment. Too much photoshop to make the place looking clean, and in reality the place is missing a lot of the already basic furniture and almost all of the decoration pieces.
The operation is set up in a way to maximize their return, while absolutely minimizing any spending. This ranges from lack of simplest amenities like paper towel to a host of major issues with the unit itself.
The owner is probably asking why I did not bring issues with them while we were staying. Well, the problems were so fundamental that they could not have done anything about them while we were there. Am I expected to ask them to clean and fix the non-functioning blinds? Install a bathroom fan for the non-functioning one? Perform lead paint abatement for the chipping single glazed wooden windows? Remove molds from every corner of the bathroom? Retile the missing/chipping tiles?
I don’t know where to begin about the cleanliness. The place was so beyond redemption that nothing could be done to address years and years of negligence.
I clocked the internet speed at several times during our stay and it never reached above 1 mbps.
There is so much more to write, but what made me angry was the message that the owner sent me after our stay begging me for a 5 star review and pleading with me not to write a review if it is a 4 star one out of fear of getting delisted. I would suggest a path to a better rating is honesty, transparency, and providing acceptable service as opposed to singularly focusing on churning profits.
