I had many problems with checking in- it took 2 calls to airbnb support and over 2 hours to get a hold of the host for a combination code to the lockbox, leaving me to finally check in an hour late. I was told the host was away on holiday and had bad signal, leaving me to wander around dublin with my luggage as I tried to ring her with no answer. Thankfully, after multiple phone calls and texts from both myself and my partner, we got in touch with the host’s coworker who, after more phone calls, sent a friend to drop off the keys to me at 4pm.
I stripped the bed upon leaving and found mold growing on one of the pillows which, after the whole ordeal of trying to check in, was just the straw that broke the camel’s back and I was glad to be leaving.
The apartment itself and the location is amazing, and there’s a lot of potential with this place- unfortunately I got the bad experience. Hopefully no other future guests have to deal with these problems, it was unnecessary and could’ve easily been avoided had more care been put into the people that had booked a simple 3-night stay.
