This wasn’t our most pleasant Airbnb stay I shall say. But first, let’s evaluate the appartement before citing the incident.
The appartment is well located, within 5 mins walking distance to 2 metro stations. Many restaurants, bars and supermarket nearby. Check-in was easy and well described, Glenn sent in the information 3 days before check-in as stipulated. Appartement that has been beautifully renovated, but due to its location on the ground floor and humidity, some humidity bugs and molds are slowly starting to form on the cracks of the walls. We stayed here for 2 nights, the neighbour upstairs have been very noisy, moving chairs or furnitures all night long until past 1AM and resume making noises the next day as early as 7AM (on a saturday morning!).
What happened to us might be a one time deal, but worth mentioning. Glenn is preparing for another airbnb appartment next to this one and had to have some work done to link the cable from this appartement to be new one in process. I have never been notified about this. On the first morning around 9:30am, someone tried to open the door of the appartment while we were preparing for our day. Luckily we left our key in the lock from the inside so the person couldn’t open it, and when we did to see who it was, it was Glenn trying to come in to get the TV remote for next door. He never knocked on the door nor notified me that some work has to be done and that someone would be coming into the appartement during our stay. He left with the remote, came back a few minutes later, and this time, knowing we’re in the appartment, he didn’t knock, just opened the door and walked in. This felt like a violation to our privacy and I truly think it’s an unacceptable behaviour that has to be changed. When we left for our day, the third time he sees us that morning, he ends up telling me someone will be coming to drill a hole between the two walls to pass the cables and not to worry because he will be there.
Note : 1) if you’re more than 2 to stay here, someone will be sleeping on the sofa bed right next to the entrance, imagine someone walking in during your sleep! 2) nothing was stolen/loss while we were out discovering the city.
