My boyfriend and I were quite upset with Jan. Having read the reviews, we assumed it would be quite a simple and smooth experience staying at Jan’s. What we encountered couldn’t be further from that. Right off the bat, our bed sheets smelled as if they had not been cleaned since the last guests. In addition, our towel sheets smelled terrible enough for us to consider avoiding showering throughout our stay.
What’s most important is what happened the night of our leave. While coming up the stairs, which crawled quite a lot, we were having a quiet conversation. We entered our room (given it was 1:30AM, but still our right as guests) and began to have normal conversation. I must make this clear, we were keeping our voices to a MINIMAL. Jan proceeded to come down after 10 minutes, blatantly disrespecting and yelling at us saying he knows there’s a third person in the room. He then proceeded to check our room only to find out he was wrong, and threaten to kick us out in the middle of the night. Now, if the walls were thin and we were speaking at a level he did not appreciate (which frankly, was not loud at all) there was many other ways he could have let us know as opposed to banging on our door and flipping out.
On the other hand, there were few pros to our stay. The location was incredible and the apartment (asides from the sheets and towels) was quite nice. Jan was a decent host before his fit of rage, however we would never come back as any host that can threaten their guests without probable cause doesn’t deserve to have that responsibility.
