What an experience.
After 1 night in Tara #15, we had to ask for 2 new mattresses, it was so uncomfortable, couldn’t imagine sleeping in these beds for a month.
We had to ask for a toaster, knifes, can opener, wine opener, a broom.…We had to buy a coffee maker because the coffee maker there has filters which are sold by Hotel supplies only, so we couldn’t find any around. The coffee maker seen on pictures is not the one we have. There are no hangers. We asked…never received. Also missing, a cutting board so we used the counter, no kettle. WE ARE HERE FOR 1 MONTH.
We also had to buy dish cloth and rag. The apartment is not equipped for long stays like they say. No pan, only 1 cauldron with a broken handle, no salt, no pepper, no oil as mentioned on the description. One part of the fridge fell apart (inside the fridge)…when we first opened it. OMG.
The worst is coming.
The main problem here is the Terrace on the first floor (where we were). Everybody has their own Terrace but our is shared with people from downstair and our 2 neighbors. We didn’t know that. So we can’t really eat outside for dinner because the little table is usually busy…for happy hours. And believe us, Happy hours are very very busy / loud / insupportable. Almost everybody around is smoking cigarettes and pot. It smells all the time. Why people don’t use their own Terrace ?
People who live here all work (almost) for North Beach Village. During the night, they talk so loud that they seem to be in our apartment (the walls are made of cardboard)…it was the same with music. Honestly it was aggressive.
Almost every day, we had to clean the little space that we are « trying » to use outside: ashtrays, ashes on the dining table, chairs, cigarette butts on the floor, beer bottles…I can understand that we don't have the same culture but I think that respect, regardless of the culture, is in order.
Another problem is: there is no comfort. The kitchen chairs (inside) are uncomfortable (shattered). And the sofa…OMG, can’t believe it. Because we are working during the day, we have to put pillow on chairs to find a little comfort…or we work in the bed (because we have 2 new mattresses) !!!!
They can’t offer better unfortunately so we stopped complaining but, of course, we won’t never come her again. We used many times airbnb Platform, this negative experience is our first one. We were so tired of not sleeping well that we left 3 days earlier than expected.
