This is a very unpleasant Airbnb experience for me. I was astonished when I first entered the house. I could hardly recognise it- it was nothing like the pictures. The hallway was so narrow, and when I walked upstairs, the stale and musty smell made me really uncomfortable and sick. As for the living room, which was honestly a major reason of my booking- I thought I could actually sit on the sofa and read a book in the warm light. But the reality was cruel: it was so messy and the sofa was full of dirt. Weights were scattered on the floor and there was no spare space at all. Then I realised it was used as a storage room and a gym by the host. You would never want to get access to the living room.The host and his family are actually living in the same house.
About the room, the window was big and you can get a good view from it. But the room was incredibly shabby indeed. All facilities were super old: the table was wobbling, the toilet gave out a strange smell, the light was so dim and even the small and old kettle was not working. And it was very difficult to flush the toilet- you need to be powerful enough to press the handle.
To make things worse, my communication with the host was not smooth at all. He replied really slowly-I found it was very hard to reach him.
In a word, this is quite a disappointing and terrible experience for me. I wouldn’t recommend anyone to stay here.
