This listing is unfortunately inaccurate.
NOISE
On both sides of the apartment is extreme noise: seven busy train lines which shake the apartment at regular intervals throughout the day and night, the latest train stops at around midnight and the earliest starts again at around 4AM.
At the front of the apartment is a very busy intersection of roads with constant traffic, car horns and shouting. The noise was unbearable.
CLEANLINESS
The apartment on the surface seemed clean however there were some pretty horrible surprises:
1. The toilet smelt of urine
2. The microwave looked like something exploded in it
3. The oven was very dirty
4. The couch and cushions had big stains on them
5. The kitchen and bathroom had black mould in them
6. Wherever you walked in the apartment, it became clear that it had been given a very superficial clean, but that dust and even long-standing dirt would soon become apparent - the longer I was there, the more uncleanliness I noticed.
I complained to the host, I received no response. I complained to AirBnB providing photos and videos and they agreed that this listing was inaccurate and that I would be given a refund. I left this place after one day because the noise and uncleanliness was too much. The host wrote to me after I’d left stating that I should not use AirBnB because my cleanliness standards were too high. I informed AirBnB of this and they stated that the host was wrong for writing this to me and that they would be taking note of this host’s poor communication with guests.
I have been using AirBnB all over the world for several years now and this listing was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had - no exaggeration.
The lesson here is not to book listings that don’t have at least 10 reviews. It just isn’t worth it.
