Well... let me just preface this by saying that this was my first experience with any kind of Airbnb and it was not a good one.
The apartment wasn't at all as it looked on the pictures. First impression was ok, but as we started to get settled little by little we started noticing everything that was wrong with the place.
As I walked in there was a giant stain on the carpet, which just made the whole place look dirty. Then the real shocker came, when I wanted to go to the bathroom and as I was closing the door, the handle just came of, because nobody had bothered to secure it to the door apparently. Once inside the bathroom we noticed that the only outlet in the bathroom was hanging out of the wall. There was one hook on the wall for all four towels, one little mirror above the sink in the entire flat.
After that I tried to connect to the Wifi, but of course that didn't work either. That was the first time we contacted our host. He told us he would send somebody to fix the handles (by that time we noticed that the front door handle wasn't screwed in either) and that according to our neighbors the internet worked just fine. This, as it would later turn out, was a lie. We asked our neighbors, who promptly told us that they weren't even using the Wifi, only the internet on their phones. That was not the only lie we caught our host in: when my bf first called him, he told him that he had no idea the door handles were broken, but when I talked to him later he told me, that he did know and just didn't want to cancel on us, to fix the place, because that was unprofessional in his eyes. So not only did he know, that according to him the previous guest had broken the handles and many more things in the flat, he did not find it necessary to inform us about that fact. By the way the handles never got fixed and everytime one of us needed to go to the bathroom, the other one had to push the door shut from the outside.
There were a lot of things wrong with the apartment, apart from the door handles and the internet. Like I mentioned, the outlet in the bathroom was just hanging out of the wall, there were loose cables sticking out of the kitchen area wall. The wooden trims on the floors where missing or torn off. The place just looked half finished.
But worst of all the fan (the flat does not have air conditioning) broke down after the first day, which was no surprise because it looked and sounded 100 years old. But it made the heat even more unbearable.
To his credit, the host did send us a new router and a new fan along with a bottle of Prosecco to apologize, however the new fan was just as old and would not stand up by itself, because it did not have a stand. It was one of those fans that you are supposed to secure to the ground by screwing it in. So naturally it fell over and the protective cage came off. At that point we didn't bother to complain anymore, because we knew we were only going to get another half-ass attempt to make it right.
What bothers me the most though is that the host told me in one of our phone conversations, that he wasn't going to let any guests in for the next two days in order to fix up the place properly (something he should have done before we came into the flat, but whatever). However on the last day we were rushed out by the cleaning staff at 12 o'clock sharp, as if she had to clean up the place before new guests arrived at 3pm. I found that to be very suspicious and that leads me to believe that he doesn't plan on fixing the place up at all.
All in all I wouldn't recommend this place or the host to anyone. I did not like my stay here at all and was very disappointed.
