I don’t recommend staying at this Airbnb or any other one hosted by the company Mairet.
We reached 10 minutes before our checkin time at 4pm and were told to wait outside until our checkin time. It is their policy to not let guests in before checkin time even if the apartment has been cleaned and is ready. There was a heatwave that day and we didn’t appreciate this service.
We were also told over messages that we could checkin early if the cleaners finish cleaning the apartment early. We checked with them on the day of the checkin but never heard back.
The other thing to note is that the bathroom was not cleaned for our arrival. There were multiple hairs on the side wall of the shower and the edges of the shower were not cleaned either.
The Airbnb does not have any air conditioning which we were aware of. Although it would be helpful to note that the bedroom does not have any windows or fans. There was a portable fan in the living room which didn’t function. In the end, we slept with the windows in the living room open. However the neighbors were noisy and having a party, which was quite disturbing.
Lastly, we got locked out of the bathroom and couldn’t use it. Looks like the lock doesn’t function well. We did receive immediate assistance when we got in touch with the company.
The location of this Airbnb is great. 15 minute walk from the empress and right next to a bunch of restaurants. The bed was also comfortable to sleep in.
