The place is clean and in a decent location. We stayed for 8nts for work, this place is much better suited for weekend stays. There were two of us, we were each provided with two towels that were obviously a bit older. Again, fine for a weekend but 8nts that was tough. They do have a washing machine and dryer but it is downstairs and quarters are needed to use it. That would have been helpful to know before hand. Note the maid lives in one of the downstairs apartments and she has the machine going at ALL times so if you need to use it, you will need to at either 11pm or get up early at 5am and take their stuff out to wash your own because it is left there..this happened to use twice where we had to wait until they were stopped and the maid was in bed. Machines cost $2.00 for a wash and $1.50 for a dry.
The beds themselves are older and uncomfortable, almost like a kids bed where you just sink in.. with older, pilling and visibly worn sheets and blankets. The pillows were terrible. Again, we would have made it work for a weekend but 8nts was tough, plus I came down with bronchitis while there and that made it nearly unbearable. I was surprised because the apartment itself was pretty nice, and updated but they clearly forgot to update the bedding.
The couch is VERY small, almost like a 3/4 of a love seat. We were two female coworkers and found it difficult to watch tv/movies after a hard days work but if you are there on vacation that may not be a problem for you. There is also a small chair. I spent most of mu time in my room anyway being I got sick.
While there, i got my ‘lady friend’ on top of bronchitis so I was a mess. The day we were due to leave I tried to call the hostess to discuss the unexpected ‘lady friend’ and the bedding that was now stained. I got no answer but later realized I called the wrong phone number.
At the airport, I got a message from the male host who was VERY angry about the sheets. It had been 2hrs since we left and he stated ‘our maid was unable to clean the blood out of the sheets and blanket that you left, and we had to replace them costing us $200. We have alerted Airbnb and will send you the bill’...
$200 for sheets that were clearly worn, pilled and old, and a blanket that I didnt use because I was burning up with a 103 fever the basically the entire trip.
I responded and offered to send them the $30-$40 sheets from Amazon that were on the bed when I got there, and reminded them that they can get a bed in a bag at Walmart for $50.. and that a woman getting her ‘friend’ and accidentally leaking is not a reason to try to rob them and claim damage to the apartment. A nice message asking what happened would have been expected but the anger and accusation as well as ‘reporting’ to Airbnb for a bodily function that I cannot control was a bit over the top. Everything else was left exactly as it was when we arrived, we even ran the dishwasher for the maid so it was one less thing for her to have to do.
I have not heard from the host after my offer to send the $40 sheets.
