Pretty disappointed. I’ve never written a bad review on AirBnb, and it honestly sucks for me to be writing this, because I’m one who strives to figure things out offline. However, because the host would not pick up my phone-calls, nor would she call me back, I’m forced to write a review. Here are my honest thoughts on the place as an outsider coming in.
1. There was lots of noise outside the apartment during the night. Did not realize the apartment was in a fairly unlit/sketchy neighborhood till after we got there. There were no pictures of the outside at all.
2. Our host did not let us know in anyway what to do once we reached the apartment. We waited outside for 30 mins in the night and called multiple times but had no response in anyway.
3. Host didn’t end up letting us in. She had sent her associate to let us in, but did not let us know he would be the one meeting us, nor did she give us his number, nor was she available to speak to us during this time.
4. I asked multiple times afterwards if the host would give us a call, telling her I wasn’t happy with the miscommunication, which she ignored.
5. Her associate (Norby) gave us his number to call if we needed anything at all. The day before we checked out, we called to let him know that we wanted to check-out at around 10am, so he should come pick-up the keys from us. We called twice and left multiple messages and got no responses from him.
I’m not saying “Don’t Stay At Her Place”, but be sure to clarify every detail before committing to staying. Inside the actual apartment itself, things were fantastic - not a qualm there at all. But logistically, it was a bad experience for me and my girlfriend.
