- The apartment is beautiful, very well located and the bed is amazing.
- I came at a time when they were painting the building so mice decided to visit. Since the apartment is in the ground floor this can happen. Valerie sent a guy to place traps but I didn’t feel comfortable with only this solution, nor the idea of seeing dead mice in my room.
- Communication was not transparent enough. A week before check in Valerie told me there would be painting works in the building. I agreed because it was too short notice to change airbnb but also because she didn’t say anything about drilling. When I told her I wasn’t able to work from home because of the drills she excused herself by saying she warned me about the painting works, but did nothing more.
- Also, I had told Valerie that I was renting this place (Oct - January) while I looked for a permanent apartment and therefore asked her with how much time in advance could I notify her, so that she could change the end date for earlier. She said one month in advance was enough. When I found an apartment I told her I would leave in one month as agreed, but she ignored me and didn’t change the end date. I end up having to cancel. I can understand if it wasn’t convenient for her but then she shouldn’t have agreed to do it in the first place.
For all these reasons, and in my case, I don’t think I got the value for the type of experience I was paying for.
