I'm sad to say that this was my most disappointing (and odd) AirBnb experience to date. The listing was very misleading. It stated that I would be staying with a lady named Tatiana and the pictures shown of her flat were beautiful and immaculate. Actually it was Tatiana, her husband and their 5 month old baby and the house was covered in baby things, clothes hanging up to dry everywhere, washing up etc. Quite chaotic! I had to ask for toilet roll when I arrived and also handwash, as the dispenser in the main bathroom was broken. The baby slept a lot of the night, but would grizzle until late and then again quite early in the morning (and once in the middle of the night also), so a good night's sleep was difficult. I understand that things can be like this with a baby in the house, of course, but a baby was not mentioned anywhere in the listing, and the photos showed a beautiful clean and tidy apartment, so I feel very misled. Previous reviews were from a year and a half ago, so I guess things were different then. The wifi hardly ever connected (it seemed to disconnect shortly after I got home each night and would still be disconnected in the morning when I left, so I only had access for a few minutes when I got back each evening, then it would disconnect. I'm not sure if it was being turned off when I got home? It seemed odd that it worked each night when I got home and then was gone a few minutes later. Every night. This made keeping on top of work emails etc pretty impossible, so I had to rely on wifi in cafes and public places in the city. Also in the listing, it said breakfast items would be available, but I was never offered any, though Romain (the husband) did make me a cup of coffee. The strangest part was 2 nights before I left, the couple were up very late, until about 1am, very loudly talking and packing a suitcase and running the washing machine, so I couldn't get to sleep. Then the baby was crying at 2am. Then the talking and general noise started again at around 7am. When I came out of the room at 8, the apartment had been tidied and they had left without a word. No communication at all. I had no idea if they were coming back or not. I didn't see them again or hear a word from them for the rest of my stay. Then an hour after check out, Tatiana sent me a message asking me to leave the key in a lock box (by which point I'd already left and put the key back inside the flat). It was all very odd.
Positives - close to metro, little supermarket just downstairs, sofa bed was pretty comfy, shower is nice (though no way to lock bathroom door), Romain seems very nice, though I didn't get to speak much to either of them as they both seemed to always have a lot going on. I've never left anything but a positive review before on AirBnb, but I truly feel that I was very misled with this listing and sadly, it all added up and affected my trip. I wouldn't have stayed there if I had all the information. I feel the listing should be updated to reflect the current situation, so that people can make an informed choice about staying there.
