The flat and location are very nice.
I am sorry to say but the problem here is the host who is a very hostile person.
Before my arrival I told her that I am a photographer and that I would probably use the apartment to take some portraits, I even sent a link to my Instagram account.
She then asked me if I was going to use the apartment for commercial use which I declined since I am just an amateur photographer.
Shortly after my arrival I realized that two of the rooms where quite cold, especially the kitchen that also had the only place I could sit and work on my computer, so the next morning I sent a message to the host where I asked if they had an electric heater I could use.
Later that morning she came by being very friendly saying that they would increase the temperature in the apartment and that they would organize an electric heater for me if it was still necessary.
She then wanted to show me some kind of shared office space that they had in the building that I could rent, I went with her to see it but I was not really interested in renting an office space so I declined politely.
After going out for a while we returned to the apartment and found out that the temperature in the apartment was better, a few minutes after we returned the hosts husband came by the apartment to check the temperature, I said that it was better, but showed him that the heaters in the kitchen and one bedroom did not work properly, it was just a part of them that was warm.
After he was there the temperature dropped again so I sent them a new message that the heating in the apartment was unstable and I would appreciate if they could help us with an electric heater, I also said to her that if she was worried about the extra cost I would be happy tp pay for the electricity it would use.
In the evening I still did not get any answer so I asked her again for the heater. Her reply was very impolite, asking if I needed the apartment to be like a sauna because my model was naked(???) and that they would charge me 3000 kc (120 EUR) for the remaining time (2,5 days).
She wrote that I could leave the money in the key box and that she would give me the heater after I gave them the money (even when airbnb says that you should never pay any money outside the platform).
Later that day she came by and started jelling at me from the moment she came to the moment she left, I tried to show her that I was sitting with my computer by the kitchen table with a duvet around me because it was so cold in there.
She said that she did not like that I used the apartment as an atelier and that I moved my business there, this was not the thing at all, I took a few portraits in the apartment and if that was the problem why did she not say that before I arrived?
I told her that the price she put for the electricity for the heater was very high and that I did not want to pay that. She jelled something about me communicating in a very unfriendly way and left smashing the door after her.
For me this was a very strange experience and have no idea what made her so upset, I see on her reviews that another person also had the same kind of experience…
All I did was ask for a heater because it was very cold in the apartment?
