Our stay at Marie’s place was mixed.
It started off very poorly — we needed up having to wait 1.5 hours outside the flat due to the host’s lateness and extremely poor communication. Rather than checking in at 18:30 as agreed, the host didn’t arrive until 20:00.
We arrived at the apartment at our agreed upon check in time of 18:30 and no one was there. We also hadn’t received any communication from the host. After waiting 20 minutes outside, we tried the contact number for the person checking us in and were unable to connect. We had to try the emergency number and wait for a call back. Finally someone told us that they weren’t going to be there to check us in until 20:00. I wouldn’t have felt comfortable with such a long wait outside in an unknown neighborhood if I was a single traveler. This also led to us missing our dinner reservation.
When we finally got in, the flat itself was nice and comfortable. The bathroom shower could use further cleaning. The location was convenient and the bar across the street was a highlight.
Unfortunately the check in issues put a damper on the whole experience.
