This was the first time I really made a mistake in selecting the place to stay. I have used airbnb a lot, and it has often been a great experience, and always at least OK. This time I had to move out of the place, and it costed me both a lot of money and a lot of trouble, in the middle of a conference trip.
The problem was that Joan had not been honest in replying my questions asked in advance. Before booking, I had asked specifically whether the flat was "quiet, no noise"? She let me understand that was the case. However, the reality was totally different. The flat is on the 4th floor and giving directly to a very busy and noisy street in downtown. But that was even not the only and real problem: there were major construction works just next to the place, starting before 6 am every morning very load with drilling, big machines and vehicles, horns, shouting, etc. No way to sleep, or to read, or to think the whole day.
Next to that problem, it is also good to know that if you stay alone, it is a bit scary to enter the flat late at night. The street and the neighbourhood has plenty of alcoholics/homeless people, some of whom are aggressive, and there is no security whatsoever in the building. You have to enter an empty lobby, and then a long corridor with doors, some to common lavatories, and then another corridor, then a service lift, and yet your corridor upstairs. With a lot of strange doors and corners, again, that in the silence of the night and absence of any persons in the (run-down) building which seems to serve mainly for offices. A friend walked me up one night, and he found the setting could work well for filming a horror movie.
Other than that: yes, the interior is space and clean. There is absolutely no view, however, there are concrete bars in front of the windows. But Joan is an attentive professional host who wants to be helpful and friendly.
