MUST READ - What makes a "Great AirBandB Experience"? Is it price, is it the location of the place, is how neat the place may look like... Is the Host? Most likely the answer will include all of them... But will it?
Actually, the only thing you don't know what to expect is the "Host"...
So here is my experience... I've never met this host or anyone to help us with the "Check-in"... As per the host instructions, to get into the building I have to find the concierge and ask him to let me in, well... I had to wait outside until the concierge showed up 20 minutes later and then I finally saw the guy and explain to him who I was so he can let us in, then we when up to the apartment and using the door code I was given we managed to get in... FINALLY!!!
I was told that in the apartment I should find the keys to get into the building... But wait a minute... ONLY ONE KEY?... I called the host and after waiting for a response for a long while... I asked her if she left somebody in charge to help us or if there was another key somewhere in the apartment since I was with my wife and we needed one for each other... She told me to go to the store and make a copy... Really?...
Well, what other choices... To make it short... 7 Hours later (Too long to explain details), I was able to keep going with my life... According to her, she was back in Argentina the following day, she never attempted to find out if we needed something or to refund what I've spent for the key... The check-out was the same as the check-in... Nobody around... I chose to give the key I made to one of the neighbors... THIS IS THE WORSE HOST I EVER HAVE TO DEAL WITH OR HEARD ABOUT...
And if you still want to know about the place itself... As long as you do not move a chair or anything, is clean, also enjoy the door closet that I fixed... now it works... If you are looking for an electrical outlet and move the sofa then you'll find where the dirt is hidden... And if you are Mr. Gadget and happen to carry with you a plunger, then you are golden... use it in the bathroom sink... Is a little nasty after shaving or brushing your teeth. Other than the host, or dealing with one key to getting into the building, and waiting a full minute for every 3 seconds of running water in the bathroom sink... The place is OK... Oh, I almost forget... The bottle with the chocolates in one of the photos... who knows where was it...
