The location is great, but the unit left a lot to be desired. The host makes a note of the increased cleaning fees and later check-in time to make sure everything is clean and sanitized because of COVID, but we did not see that reflected in the condition of the apartment. It’s important to mention that I don’t think we spoke to the host directly the entire stay - all of the messages appeared automated and we did not receive responses to questions we asked at the start of our stay.
There were dishes that were clearly dirty - silverware had fingerprints and food on them. The towels in the bathroom smelled like they were unwashed or had been left damp for an extended period of time. The bed is really, really uncomfortable with large holes that you will sink into - the comforter smelled like it had been doused in Fabreze spray. It was disconcerting to see a reused dish sponge - most Airbnbs I’ve stayed at during COVID have provided a new sponge for each guest. The couch is old and visibly stained. The floor was not clean - wearing freshly washed white socks was a mistake.
The windows in the shower are covered with plastic sheets - except for one part with a clear view of the neighbor’s balcony which is really uncomfortable.
The wifi is slow.
There’s a strange motion sensor in the living/sleeping space that would go on whenever we moved in the bed.
