unlike other guests, we did not have a pleasant stay. some reasons are as follows:
- the host moved our belongings multiple times without informing us. it was only after she overheard us trying to find them that she told us where she put them.
- upon checking out, we found some cash missing as well as a missing airpods pro. we suspect that these items were stolen by our host as we did not bring them out of the airbnb (and because of the previous point).
- the room is VERY small. it realistically would only fit one person and even then there is no space for you to open your luggage (even a carry-on size) without tripping over it. as such, we had to leave our luggages in the living room.
- little to no privacy. the host was in the living room most of the time so most of our movements including the unpacking of our luggage was observed by her.
- no key provided for the room we slept in, only keys for the front doors. essentially, there is no way to ensure that your luggages aren't tampered with by the host.
- the host randomly told us one evening that the hot water was almost out and we were to shower quickly. there was no indication of a hot water supply issue before this. we did not have enough hot water to even last a 5 minute shower.
- the host would make peculiar demands, such as getting us to clean her bathroom door after every shower.
- we were not able to use the kitchen amenities at all. when we asked for a kettle to boil water the host told us to just get (cold) water from the tap.
- at around 8.30am every day, there would be a lot of renovation noise coming from the floor above our room. this would persist for the rest of the morning.
- the toilet is frigid and smells strongly of cigarettes.
we hope that this information may be helpful to other travellers.
