Hands down, the worst Airbnb experience in the 9+ years on the platform. Whilst Jan and his son were nice, and eventually cooperative - the lack of communication only lead to a drawn out and tedious resolution with the Airbnb support team (who were rude and argumentative).
The entire apartment stunk of mold and grime, which was deeply fused into the towels, bath Matt, carpets and curtains. Presumably from water leakage in the shower (which lacks a proper cover and ends up flooding the bathroom floor).
The Wi-Fi is basically non-existent, and should not be relied upon.
The bed is basically two children’s mattresses pushed together and as a consequence you roll into the gap in the middle. The mattress and sheets smell.
The kitchen, microwave and draws were covered in grime and as a result I ended up having to eat outside most of the time to avoid cooking in unhygienic conditions.
Unexpectedly a construction crew took over the bathroom for three days, meaning I couldn’t shower or use the bathroom.
The following week, the building shut off the water for another 3 days.
Not being able to shower, or use the bathroom for another 3 days, for me was straw that broke the camels back.
Jan was unresponsive at check-in, and as a result I was left waiting on the streets for hours. If you book, make sure you contact them weeks in advance to sort out your check-in.
The location is good, the photos are somewhat accurate but I wouldn’t recommend this unless absolutely out of other options. It’s going to take weeks to get the smell out of my bag and clothes.
