One of the most horrid airbnb experience we have ever had!!
I will NOT recommend "K & A :)" to anyone who cares about their safety!
On the very first night, as we were buying dinner at a nearby MacDonalds (as recommended by our hosts), we were attacked by a group of teenagers who not only threw filled water bottles and eggs at us, but also stole our food. This happened only a 10 mins walk away from the house!
We even trusted the assurance of the host that the location was very safe before we left to buy dinner.
After we came back, we immediately researched about this location / Cabra and were horrified by the number of violent cases that are occurring here by groups of such teenagers.
Fearing for our safety, my partner and I decided to leave this location, despite already unpacking and having bad jetlag from a 17 hour flight.
The next day we tried asking for a refund from our hosts by explaining this incident.
At first, they were adamant about the refund, but the guy (Kamil) later came to us and gave us 2 conditions for a refund (which we learnt later that it was 70 euros out of the total 290 euros that we paid). We trusted their word and abided to their conditions.
Days later, they suddenly gave us another condition that was not part of our agreement. This time, they told us not to post any reviews in order to get the refund!
A total nightmare! Not only did we left Dublin feeling traumatized, but also felt bullied by the hosts. We didn’t feel the hosts truly cared about our safety or feelings.
You can google for yourself the state of how Cabra is right now (something that the hosts themselves aren’t even aware, which also took us by surprise).
