Well, there are a bunch of negatives and a few positives.
Positives:
1. The communication from Oliver was prompt, courteous and welcoming when I reached. The guidance on transport and location was spot on.
2. The location is good, considering proximity to train stations and buses.
Negatives:
1. The first turn off was when I was asked to pay up 50 euros extra because of the "rise in fuel and gas prices". While it was shocking enough, it was understandable that the Ukraine - Russia crisis is real and I'd booked the place slightly earlier. However, after paying up the extra amount, I was also told to not use the gas stove "as much as possible". I'd have been happily conscious about my usage if I wasn't asked to pay extra money (in cash). But, getting the additional money and then providing conditions on gas usage was literally annoying.
2. As if that wasn't enough, I was asked if I'd be okay with a "deal" wherein I cancel the reservation and the host can then take the deal "off Airbnb" so that "both of us could save money". Given the earlier incident mentioned in Point #1, I refused. It already felt untrustworthy.
3. The toilet doors don't lock. Safe to say, there were embarrassing incidents because of this.
4. The heater does not work properly in the room. It mostly feels completely cold, and is not at all warm. Now, one would argue that I could have raised it with Oliver and sorted it out. However, given the fact that I'd already paid enough - and more - money, I didn't want to bring up an issue and then end up being asked to pay more.
5. Continuing along the lines of the heater functioning, the shower heater is pretty messed up. Even if you turn the knob towards the hot water side, there is very little adjustment and it's unpredictable. Furthermore, if you wash dishes in the kitchen sink, the water flow in the shower gets affected because of that.
All in all, it was pretty disappointing , considering this place was supposed to be super high in ratings. I will definitely NOT recommend this place.
