I’m writing this review to WARN AND STOP anyone who would like to book this airbnb.
- A LONG list of house rules which are frankly, a bit unreasonable. Please check them and ensure you can stick to them.
- Short check in time frame: check in from 5 pm, later than most airbnbs and until 10 pm. Later check in times will irritate the host
- No hairs and water on the ground or sink
- No privacy as it is a shared apartment with the host, and he is commonly in the living room. The lack of privacy made us extremely cautious and silent during the short stay. We avoided talk or move things.
- Lights were not turned on for the whole duration except for our room and the bathroom. The kitchen and living room where in pitch black. This makes it quite uncomfortable and unaccommodating for the guests as the host is sitting in the living room in darkness
- Bathroom opening hours: limited to 12 am, check in at 10 pm and briefing by host till 10:30 pm meant there was limited time for us to unpack and shower. We ended up not showering that night and hurried to use the bathroom for settling down before 12 am.
- Kitchen: not open for use by guests. Use of the kettle for boiled water is only accessible by the host. (written in the house rules)
- Location: not close to city but accessible by train and trams
Conclusion: extremely nerve-racking and uncomfortable stay and would NOT recommend anyone staying here. The purpose of an Airbnb is for having a place to rest after long days of travelling, however, in this case we felt like living under a closely monitored and strict institution. If an accommodation is bound by this many rules, perhaps it is not meant to be an Airbnb in the first place.
