Ugo’s home has POTENTIAL to be a great stay however, given the current situation it was not a good stay. If you’re looking for a comfortable bed and a great night sleep - this place isn’t for you.
Let me start from the beginning.
Check-in process was a little odd. We got there a little before 10a and met the maid out front. We had to wait for someone to walk out because she didn’t have a key - it was hidden somewhere inside (won’t say where due to privacy purposes).
The location of the Airbnb is pretty good - about 2 miles from the city center. The area is new & up and coming however, the advertisement claimed a water view & we were staring at a huge gravel lot that was undeveloped. Luckily we did not hear any construction noise.
After traveling for almost 24 hours, all I wanted to do was take a hot water and sleep - 2 things this air bnb did not provide.
There was no hot water, noticed the host by 11a but still was not fixed by 7p and was not fixed when we checked out. The host was very responsive but did not fix our issues - which was a big one!
The towels were very cheap and soaked in laundry detergent. It left blue lint all over our bodies and clothes. Told the host and he said we can use his towel in the bag in the closet…. Very unhygienic.
The bed had no blanket as advertised, just a white bed sheet and 1 pink sheet cover with 2 hard pillows. Also soaked in laundry detergent. When I asked the host for a blanket he said “you don’t like the cover.. do you need a blanket”? Dublin is not a warm place so a blanket is expected.
Also despite being cleaned, the apartment was still a little dirty, the dishes looked used.
Overall, I did not have a good experience.
The apartment complex is new which has a gym and free coffee downstairs which was nice!
This air bnb has potential to be great if the host will invest in nice things instead of the cheapest solution possible.
Luckily Airbnb was able to refund most of my stay.
