Greetings Everyone,

I feel obliged to share my opinion on the Airbnb location that I have visited with my friends lately. We were a group of 10 planning a 3-day stay in Brussels, and were quite happy with the offer that we found at Airbnb. The price was relatively good so when we decided to turn a blind eye to all the inconveniences of the apartment.

But there were quite a couple unwanted surprises that we found. The apartment consists of 4 rooms, kitchen and bathroom. In the entire flat there is only one small window that opens. If we wanted to let some air inside we had to open the front door There were cockroaches in the apartment. Obviously the owner knew about the problem, as there was cockroach poison everywhere, but didn’t care to notify us at our arrival. If we had known about and still decided to come, we at least wouldn’t have left our bags on the floor. We were told that towels would be provided by the host, who only cared to leave two small towels for a group of 10.

And last, but not least the outflow of the kitchen sink turned out to be stuck when we started doing the dishes. We found a plunger underneath the sink, what made it clear that this wasn’t a problem that has just appeared. We didn’t call the owner cause she had already told us that the apartment was meant to be renovated shortly, hence the relatively good price that we got.

We left the place clean and tidy except the sink of course, which still had water in it. Upon arrival back home we got a message from the owner that we would have to cover the plumbing expenses of the kitchen sink. I’m very disappointed and can’t help the feeling of being ripped off. It’s a shame cause during the entire stay we were all trying to say positive and to ignore all the disturbing discomforts that we had to put up with during our stay.

B.Rgrds.
