The place is great. I was contacted prior to arrival by a very nice Melissa, who provided me pictures to help me facilitate my arrival the next morning. The place is great, just like in the photos, building not so nice or clean but it doesn't really matter as long as the appartment is nice. Bed is comfortable, amenities are good...
Except for the TV and internet.
I try to connect but the signal is so weak I can't even get a whatsapp message to send. So i text Melissa who replies that it's the first time she hears about it, and suggest I stand closer to the window... Shall I stand next to the window with the TV as well for it to work?
Anyways, it obviously doesnt work better, and I ask her if someone can come ASAP see what's wrong, cause I'm some 17000 kms away from home, and I kinda need the internet.
And from then on, no more reply. I sent a fez messages that stayed ignored. Therefore I had to purchase a 50 dollars sim card and plan to have some internet throughout my stay.
I use Air BnB because of the proximity with the owner, because I like to talk to the person face to face. Not only it is nicer, but they can help if there's anything, and are usually happy to provide tips on the city and so on... This time around I met NO ONE. Not upon arrival, not upon departure. And paying that much price when all the amenities that were supposed to be available were not really makes me mad.
I am disappointed with the overall experience.
