I’ll give it a 4 from a 10.
Pros: The cost was very affordable, and the neighborhood was safe.
Cons:
The location: was not so far, but neither very close from the tourist area. We had to take a Uber for everything. Was near high end brand such as Tiffany & Co, Cartier, Louis Vuitton... but if you can afford this kind of shopping most likely you aren’t staying at a AIRBNB.
The service: the host was not welcoming. Was a little rude. He was at the apartment at the time that we arrived, and as a kind gesture we said hi, and since we arrived 4 hours earlier, we asked if there was any chance we could get our room a little earlier and the answer was “absolutely not, please leave your things by the door and come back at 3pm”.
And I should mention we came back at 3pm and the room wasn’t ready until 20 minutes later.
We utilized the blow dryer in the bathroom after showering, and he ask for us to close the door of the bathroom since it was to loud. (At 11:30am) I should mention that there is no window in the bathroom and it gets pretty hot while using a blow dryer.
The house is full of notes; they are everywhere. From “leave your shoes outside” to “YOU ARE ALLOWED TO USE THE BATHROOM FOR A MAXIMUM OF 15 MINUTES”, and he ask to please “Rinse the bathroom after each use.”
You have to leave your shoes at the door, with the cold cold weather outside and the freezing floors. This cause me to get a cold that 2 days later I’m still fighting.
If we wanted to ask any questions, he will answer to read any note he had previously written in the Airbnb website. He didn’t wanted to be talk to.
THE BED: was very very very uncomfortable. It was painful. Unless you are used to hard beds with no bed springs, I wouldn’t recommend it.
You are not allowed to use any part of the house except for your room, which means you can’t even sit down in the table. He leaves a note in the bed with instructions were he specified it.
Way to many rules. This was a very strict hostel, pretty much.
