Although you might think from the content you rent the apartment, you actually rent a room of about 10m2 and the hosts lives in the apartment as well. When Eric informed us about this the morning after we booked we told him we were not aware of this and asked him if it would be ok to cancel. This was possible but would cost us 50% ....quite a big penalty for a mistake. We decided not to cancel and give it a try.
When we arrived, Eric was not there and all was arranged well. In the evening, Eric arrived and we decided to go to bed early. The walls are very thin which means you hear everything. A friend of Eric also came by and we were not able to sleep because of the talking. When we made him aware it was a bit quieter. Unfortunately early morning and the morning after (both around 7am) this happened again. When we came to the apartment on the 3rd day a guy we did not know was in there. When checking with Eric it appeared this was a friend of him. It did not feel good to us.
We were surprised that so many people gave such excellent reviews and we dived into it a bit. We found out that many of them are done by only a few people.....
We felt mislead and that we were infringing in his life and would therefor not recommend this listing.
