This is by far the worst experience i've had with airbnb
Pros:
- The apt is cute, space enough for 5 people
- Location is great, near opera house & metros.
Cons:
- Pickup & drop off the key was troublesome. You have to go half mile away to pickup/drop off the key and come back. Key keeper barely speak english. The "secret code" between house owner & the key keeper was wrong so they wouldn't give me the key. When returned, they didn't accept the key either because I threw away the key tag which the house owner told me to do.
- Building has elevator >> true but not enough. You have to go up 2 stairs to reach the apartment. One of which is very steep and narrow (<0.6m wide). We had to carry 200 pounds of luggage up there.
- Apt is not dedicated to be rent out. Owner stuffs are everywhere in the apt; fridge, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom,... Literally someone is living there, just pick up bags, leave, and lease the apt to us.
- Blanket are not prepared. We had to use dusty blankets in wardrobe.
