I can definitely and honestly say this was the worst Airbnb experience I ever had!
In itself it's a nice place, at least it probably was once. It definitely has the potential to be great. But it disappointingly wasn't, at all!!!
To start of with the claim 'newly renovated' written in the listing; the last renovation definitely has been some time ago! Throughout the appartement things were broken or missing and all the walls had smudges and damages.
A damaged roll-up curtain, that can't be pulled up. Missing parts from the shower and heating.
Parts of the handrails from the stairs to the appartement that are missing. And it's obvious they used to be there as the other parts are still there and there are some poorly executed repairs/coverups clearly visible.
The listed amenities also can't be trusted. Okay, the bathtub was there. But it was unusable as the plug was taken out, it was besides the bathtub, and couldn't be put back in to place. The plug kept coming up so the tub wouldn't hold the water.
The smoke detector/carbon monoxide alarm wasn't fitted were it supposed to be (there was a empty holder on the wall). We only discovered it later, besides the toilet, without batteries so not working at all. How about safety?
The wifi was unusable. All three devices (2 phones, 1 laptop) we had with us is just kept disconnecting all the time. And don't expect to enjoy some TV time, it's a really small TV that's very awkwardly positioned.
In caps the listing claimed "FULLY SANITIZED". I really can't imagine that even remotely was the case when we visited... At first look sure, the obvious surfaces were clean. But looking closer; the tiles in the bathroom, especially behind the sink, were just greasy. And the two supplied glasses were obviously used before, just not cleaned at all!
Behind the curtain in the first part of the apartment there was a spiderweb large enough to be sure that spot hadn't been cleaned for at least a month (if not longer).
The icing on the cake: communication! The total lack of...
I sent the host three messages during our stay, not one response came! One message over Whatsapp to a supplied phonenumber was read (blue checkmarks), but no answer. Same with the messages over Airbnb-chat, just no response.
It definitely would be a nice place if everything was in order, but it just wasn't at all. An the host not responding is an absolute first ever in my extensive Airbnb experiences! Unprofessional and rude. Chris you're a terrible host!
