Jacuzzi Rooms

Had a nightmare of a time just getting inside. First they messaged me on WhatsApp to do an online check in including a selfie, which creeped me out. Then when I got there I learned that I needed to use the internet to unlock the doors. Problem was since I was traveling abroad I didn’t have service and there was no way to access the wifi until you get into the room. We ended up solving the problem by having my wife stay in the hallway in front of the apartment while I went to a nearby bookstore with wifi. If you don’t have international service or if you are traveling alone, you are screwed. If you accidentally leave your phone in the room and close the door, you are screwed. There is no staff, it is just some guy’s apartment and he is somewhat reachable by text. Once we finally did get inside, we found there was no toilet paper. After I sent three more texts about it, I was told where the secret stash is. Really ridiculous for that to be a problem. After all that, the other minor problems really bugged me. There are only two lights in the room and one was flickering. The TV remote is broken and hard to use. There was a bunch of trash in the wastepaper bin which made me wonder how often things really get cleaned. To the owner’s credit they did fix things when we complained. The room itself is cutely decorated, clean overall, and the jacuzzi tub was great (although weirdly it refused to drain, but that wasn’t a problem for us). Really the owner should stick to AirBnB and not list this as a hotel.
