Disliked: Cleanliness
Permeated with stale cigarette smoke
The unit has an overwhelming stale cigarette smoke stench. It is listed as “no smoking permitted”, but clearly, someone has been smoking in there. We even found a cigarette butt on the ground in the bedroom, which is where the smell was the worst. We are not smokers and we were very bothered by the smell. Perhaps if you are a smoker you wouldn’t mind. We left after the first night of our 3 night stay because we couldn’t take it. The host would not refund our money and said “our cleaner went in and said there is no smell whatsoever.” This is even though we sent a picture of the cigarette butt.
For the price, we were expecting a pretty basic, barebones place (which it is), but we just couldn’t handle the smell.
Also the police came to the building to deal with an apparent domestic dispute in the unit next door. At the same time there was a sketchy man smoking in the stairwell, and he remained there for hours. The police greeted him by first name, and not in a friendly way. This is all certainly not the fault of the host, but we did not feel safe there.
