Upon arrival, the place looked spectacular. It was cozy and very spacious! The host was on holiday, but she was still responsive to our questions anyway. The location itself was one of the best parts because it was it was not even a 5 minute walk away from the local train station, which was able to take us to the places we wanted to go in prague. With that said, there were a few frustrations with our stay. Firstly, while we left our shoes at the front as directed, the floor in the room was quite dirty. Secondly, all of the shampoos, conditioners, and body washes were nearly gone but we luckily brought and used our own. Thirdly, there was a washer offered, but when asking to use it, there was a compromised offer that was not specified on the listing (we could use the washer “as long as you leave a good review”). Finally, on the morning of check out, the cleaner came one hour early to clean the rest of the apartment and waited outside of our room until we checked out, making us quite uncomfortable and feeling rushed. Also, there is a visitors tax that rentors have to pay in Prague. This is fine (it’s a very small fee), but the amount we were asked to pay in person was different the the amount listed on the air bnb site. (Perhaps it just needed to be updated.) We paid the owed amount, and even had it counted by the host’s friend in person. After leaving, the host messaged us and asked us to pay extra because the amount we had paid was insufficient, despite it being counted in front of us. This left us slightly confused.
Perhaps our experience could have been different or better if the host was there to greet us and explain everything. Maybe we could give the benefit of the doubt.
