I’ve been using Airbnb for 4 years now and it’s the main platform I use when travelling. Sadly I must say that Sarah’s place did not hit the mark and we left feeling disappointed.
Pros:
- Sarah’s place is very spacious and there are lots of big windows letting in natural light during the day
- the apartment is tastefully decorated and the location is great, just a short walk to the many restaurants on the main strip
- Sarah had great communication leading up to and during our stay
Cons:
- entering the apartment you are welcomed by a strong antique/mildew smell which is very off-putting. If you are sensitive to smells like myself this is something to consider
- cleanliness was subpar. Bathroom floors were not clean and the side fan and extra pillows were dirty during our stay.
- fridge is barely functioning- it couldn’t keep our food cold or freezer pack frozen even when left overnight on the coldest temperature setting
In summery, I’m glad we only had one night stay here. It’s not 100% bad but there are some glaring issues that will prevent us from returning. I hope the host takes our honest feedback to heart and makes some improvements for future guests.
