There were positives and negatives about our stay at John-Philips apartment. Firstly, I'll start with the positives, the neighbourhood felt very safe, it was conveniently close to the U-bahn to get around and a few nice bakeries and cafés in the area.
The only positive about the apartment itself was the space. The bathroom is small and as decribed by JP as "not the Hilton". The shower however was not clean! there was black mould in the corners of the shower, and we were supplied with only half a toilet roll for 4 nights stay!
I do not believe the sheets and doona cover were cleaned as there was a subtle odour with a mix of cologne smell on the doona.
It was not a pleasant experience at all even well before we arrived, the host was sending us messages that were very demanding and patronizing i.e. telling us how expensive his pots and pans were, how valuable his things are, and that no guests were allowed were only a few to mention. It felt very incriminating and not a welcoming experience at all.
To top it off, we were asked to clean the apartment and change the sheets despite paying more than $100 cleaning fee. We only yield to his demands as we wouldn't like dirty sheets if we were the next guests!
We did not feel that JP was a good host, worse airbnb experience yet hence, I definitely won't be returning.
