So I booked this Airbnb for me and my boyfriend to stay in cork few days, when we arrived there was a bunch of kids playing in the street, (some of them were our host kids) ask we are slowly driving and trying to figure out parking, we heard someone hitting the car but we can’t see anyone then realized there is a 3-4 year old girl running after the car, and a older boy trying to stop her, then they come to the window when we stopped, and they voy just said sorry my little sister was chasing y’all, while the little girl is trying to open the car door. So unsafe and annoying, if my boyfriend would had to back up, we wouldn’t had seen a child that little, and a tragedy could happen, with horrible consequences while we are on holiday.
Then we go in to do check in, the host was super nice, but informed us we need to take off our shoes for sanitary purposes, meanwhile there is her own dog running in and out of the house, and they don’t sanitize or clean the paws, so I think it’s ridiculous that we have to take our shoes off but floors are dirty due to the dog walking in and out of the house.
We get to our room (in the 3rd floor) there is a mini fridge, that is off, and and had a very hard time turning it on, and we found moldy ice tray full of water since the mini fridge was off, then the “restroom” is a wet room meaning toilet and shower are in the same space and when you take a shower there is water everywhere, and this wet room has a glass door so zero privacy to use the toilet, and water was boiling hot, and couldn’t get cold water at all.
Wifi keep going in and out since we were in the 3rd floor signal was very weak.
The floor in the room was lower in the center than in the sides as of the floor was about to give in, it just felt very unsafe. And room was super hot.
And there is street parking but when we came in late at night one of those days we couldn’t find parking and had to squeeze in between 2 cars to the point that my boyfriend got out of the car since he is bigger and I had to park so I could get out of the car because the space was so limited, meanwhile the owners have 2 spots for “private” parking.
I’m a Airbnb host myself, and I would give my private spot to my guest before having them struggle to find parking late at night without being familiar with the area.
Overall I wouldn’t recommend this Airbnb.
