I am not usually the one to leave a poor review, but after receiving threats from Alex, I've decided to write one, especially for the sake of others. I was planning on leaving a positive review, but he emailed me saying that if I write him a negative review, he will write me a poor one as well. He wrote "I have almost 1000 reviews, you have 8, your review will affect very little my listings, whereas my reviews to you will be more effective." I am afraid that there were previous individuals who had unsatisfying stays, but could not communicate it to everyone because of such threats and in fear of poor reputation on AirBnB.
What happened was that when returning to the room at 2am, the door to the staircase was locked. Alex did not warn us that this would happen even when I asked him that day whether I have access to the place after 12. My keys did not work. Alex claims that "[I was] stuck simply because [I] do not know how to unlock the door," continuously conveying a derogatory message throughout the email as if I were a dumb person. In fact, the security guard had to come by, attempt opening the door with my keys, and because they did not work, he had to retrieve his keys to let us in.
The next day, we had to catch our flight at 4am, and in fear that this would happen again, I contacted Alex and asked him whether the door will be locked again and how we can get out. He said the keys will be "under the modem is small basket." He could have clarified and indicated that it was the box that I opened to get into the place in the first place, but because of this confusing statement, I struggled to leave and almost missed my flight.
Despite all of this, I still did not have ill-feelings towards Alex because it was due to miscommunication. He could have warned me before hand, but I let this slide. Nevertheless, he left me extremely rude emails.
Other than this, the place is fine, except there is a jazz bar on the floor below, and the loud music seeps through. The music continued until around 12am, which affected our sleep.
I write this because while I am well aware that Alex will now leave me a poor review, I feel the responsibility to let others know of what had happened! Prague is such a beautiful, peaceful city that I fell absolutely in love with, and it was unfortunate that my first bad experience with AirBnB here.
