After being a regular AirBnB user for almost a decade now (with years of time spent in AirBnB properties), I can say that this certainly was my worst stay yet.
First, the listing is completely misleading – the furniture that was pictured was not there, including missing pillows and entirely different bed, which was simply on the floor on top of what was maybe a 10 cm high frame, rather than the one pictured. Which, under the thin bedsheet provided, was covered in cigarette burns and coffee stains 👍.
Absolutely the bare minimum was provided by the host as well. No extra linens, no extra towels, and somehow only the two trash bags that were in the trash cans when we arrived (for a 17-day stay). Dust all over the place. I mean everywhere. Even in simple things like on the lamps, the tables. It was clear that very little care was put into maintaining the property.
The hot water was... difficult to figure out but proved decent. However the shower is just awful. The arm that holds the showerhead up is not even fastened to the wall, so it falls down all the time and you'll have to carefully prop it back up.
While the pictures may give you the impression that this is some cozy apartment on the 2nd or 3rd floor of a residential building, it is actually most likely some kind of unregistered property. It is a converted store – the door to the apartment literally opens onto the sidewalk. It has a massive display window like you'd find in a boutique (that's been frosted over so it's slightly translucent), and the door is blacked out with plastic sheeting. This is either for your own privacy, or to prevent anyone from finding out that this is some form of illegal flophouse.
It is incredibly noisy. You will not sleep past 7:30 AM any day, as every street sound comes right to the bedroom/living room. On weekends, you'll also be awoken by any groups of rowdy people coming back from their night out. The door isn't even properly weather sealed, so you'll also get cigarette smoke wafting in whenever people walk by. Next door is a bike repair shop that is separated by only a paper-thin wall. We could hear every time that the phone rang, as well as any music / TV sounds that were playing during the day.
The host has several (nearly identical) properties on the same street, and provided the same check-in instructions and video to all of them. The video contained *our* apartment in it, and 5 separate times we were startled by someone pressing on the keypad and trying to open the door, before we had to explain to them that their apartment was somewhere else down the street.
We saw another building, a converted yoga studio, with the same setup and keypad as us, so it seems like this host got some low-cost commercial spaces and converted them to bare-minimum AirBnBs, which if not illegal, is still a new level of completely unacceptable behavior. They use the address of the closest residential building for this property and all the others, and then simply 'direct you' to the property you rented in your check-in instructions – again, another huge red flag.
So in short: loud, uncomfortable, misleading, and unsafe. You'll have to also act as the AirBnB host for anyone else that comes by, trying to open your door – make sure you keep it locked! Would rather stay in a hostel; better value and better amenities.
