Positives: our host was kind and did his best to communicate with us in English and we did appreciate that very much. He also carried one of my bags up the 3 flights of steps for me which was also much appreciated. The apartment was very spacious. Bed was large and comfortable.
Negatives: The host was unresponsive and we stood standing outside the Airbnb for 20 minutes until he came down to let us in. We had let him know in advance when we were coming as well. We were thinking that he would not come and were even starting to think about looking for a hotel to stay in. The neighborhood did not seem safe and there was a lot of trash strewn around. I felt uncomfortable standing there with all of our luggage for so long waiting. There were 3 flights of stairs to walk up and the building was not well maintained and dimly lit. When we got to our apartment it was very large which was nice as we were staying with another couple but the furniture in the photos was very worn and stained and is need of refreshing. The towels were very scratchy and our bedding had a strange smell I couldn’t put my finger on what it was. There was a coffee maker but no cream or sugar I could find. The next day when we were ready to check out again I could not get ahold of the host. After waiting around for a while we decided to lock the doors and slide the key under the door because we had to leave and couldn’t think of what else to do. Our host texted back after we left and said that was fine.
Overall, this would be a fine place for a larger group or family who doesn’t have a ton of luggage and is fit to walk up 3 flights of stairs and doesn’t require a lot of creature comforts and isn’t staying long.
