The bathtub faucet, toilet plumbing and bedroom window could face some improvements. Although I enjoyed the interior of the place and the great communication by the host— particularily in regards to the guidebook and friendly his demeanor— the bathtub faucet was loose and water kept spouting until we manually screwed it with a scissor. Even then, it was not workable and I had to make do with a cold shower. Plumbing was not make or break but flushes very slowly and required a long hold to successfully flush. Bedroom window had a gap that could not be closed. As a result, there were many flies in the Airbnb. Weather was warm and clear so it wasn't a major concern, but may prove to be a concern in cooler weather when raining. The building itself looked and felt a bit run down with numerous holes in dry wall where it looks as if someone punched the wall.
Location felt a bit unsafe. Heard a smoke bomb at 12am on Friday underneath the building. Not related to James' hospitality but definitely something to be aware of for first time visitors.
If not for James' amiability and approachability, I would rate the Airbnb lower, as basic funtionalities were a bit concerning and overall safety felt rather doubtful. However, positively, the Airbnb was true to the pictures and the view was admitedly quite nice. I also appreciated the two locks on the front door and array of teas and coffee on the shelf. Though, I'm not sure if that can redeem its lacking qualities.
