Poor communication and coordination on the part of the host.
Check-in is by appointment only and I was not given any information in advance. I made the appointment for 2 pm but was delayed so I reached out at 1 pm to let him know and request to change to check-in at 3 pm. He did not respond. I texted again at 3:30 and didn’t get a response so we I called. He does not speak English, which made communication very difficult. He managed to give me information for entering the building and finding the room and promised to send the door code. I told him I was 20 minutes away. At 3:50pm I arrived at the building and still had not received the door code. I had to text and call again while standing about with all my luggage, praying he would respond.
Communication was again difficult on the phone and he kept talking about going through glass doors, which were nowhere to be found. I had to go up two wrong flights of narrow steps with my suitcases and then down again and up again another narrow two narrow flights to the correct location. Meanwhile, he hung up on me twice while I was asking him to stay on the line with me to make sure that I was heading in the right direction. In the end, he just hung up and I didn’t hear from him again until about 30 minutes later, asking if I was in the room.
He didn’t stay on the line with me to ensure that I found the room. He also responded to my original request to change the check-in time at 11 pm — I had originally texted him around 1 pm.
All of this could have been avoided with proactive communication and instructions. I’ve never suffered such poor communication and directions from an Airbnb host before. This was the worst check in experience.
The room description on Airbnb is not accurate. There is no espresso machine, no coffee, just a kettle and sugar and mugs. There is no iron, despite the listing stating so.
The bathroom was moldy. Mold in the shower ceiling, mold in the shower walls, and super extra moldy small basket container where the toiletries were displayed.
The bed is not a double or queen bed. It is two twin beds fit together and there’s a significant border so you can’t sleep in the middle.
The wifi was like being back on DSL. Extremely slow and dropped often.

The only positives were the location, very near shopping my and the Spanish steps, and the fact that the room was very quiet. Also as I was leaving, the young lady cleaning the rooms was very kind in helping me take one of my bags down the narrow stairs.
Would NEVER stay here again and DO NOT recommend it.
