Pros:
1. Great location on a beautiful street. A little difficult for the taxi’s to locate, but well located, nevertheless!
2. Design is lovely and spacious. Nice terrace on top of building for breakfast.
3. Nice to have washing machine on top of building to use for fresh clothes, very convenient!
Cons:
1. Uncleanliness: The unit, shower and refrigerator in particular, was surprisingly dirty. There were hairs, dust and dead bugs on the shower floor that made showering feel quite unclean. I promptly brought this to the owners’ attention with photographic evidence, who had previously been very kind, and they were very rude and in fact accused me of lying, stating I had already used the shower and thus, the hair and other dirt were present - untrue as I simply tried to wash away the crud before using the shower (I don’t even like hairs in my own personal shower at home, as I am fanatically tidy.) They had a maid stop by who cleaned the refrigerator and maybe surface level, but nothing else. The kitchen had dirty glasses in the shelf and the refrigerator drawers had old food crumbs and remnants in there which I also provided photos for, and the owner accused us that a bundle of bananas on the dining room table somehow caused the crumbs. LOL! It is very unprofessional to accuse your tenant of lying when they bring the poor state of the unit to their attention. This was rather shocking and not a warm welcome to start the trip. There was also dust on tables and evident that the floor had not been swept or vacuumed. I have stayed in many Airbnb’s and understand when corners are cut. I would have been more understanding if the owners had provided a respectful response, rather than accusing paying customers of lying for no reason.
Bottom line: given the price, my expectations for cleanliness and respect were higher. You are paying for the updated decor and location.
