Our stay at Fanny’s place was less than ideal for three main reasons I will outline here:
1. The water in the apartment is atrocious. When we arrived, there was no running water in the apartment and we could not figure out why. Finally, we found a valve that turned on the water. Turns out, there are major water leaks in the kitchen and the toilet runs constantly if you do not turn it off. There were no instructions for how to turn it on when we arrived and no warning about the leaks. It left water all over the kitchen space and floors constantly. This is something that we felt we could not live with in our own apartment and it felt borderline unsafe.
2. The WiFi is not as described in the listing. We work from our laptops and were surprised to find that the hosts WiFi did not work when we arrived. When asked about the issue, she said her WiFi can be bad and recommended we use the WiFi for the cafe downstairs. When that WiFi would barely load a webpage, I asked again about how to access better WiFi and she admitted she had shut off her WiFi box and only had the cafe. We felt mislead by the listing and the host and lost revenue for the week.
3. The apartment was cluttered and messy. The host left dishes in the sink and acknowledged it in a message to us. She said she had to leave quickly for a train, which I don’t feel excuses leaving your dirty dishes for a paying guest. We kept finding trash all over the apartment. There is so much clutter behind the front door it was hard to get into the space.
We had other issues with the condition of the apartment, including a very unusable kitchen, but these were the main three factors in our disappointment. We did contact AirBnB about the situation and have had to handle it through them. Even though the location is great, I do not recommend staying here.
