Dirty and Dangerous
Unfortunately I am not sure how this place has so many stars. Sadly the review below wasn't posted when we booked this Airbnb otherwise we would not have stayed.
Welcomed: we were met out the front of the place by Francesca (host not owner) were she let us in one door and told us to wait here as she has other people arriving at a different place and needs to meet them at the station. They had a terrace and priority.
After 15mins Francesca returned were she briefly showed us a map. She explained were the supermarket was as we wanted to cook.
Cons:
- floor was dusty and not clean
- Bath/shower was tiny, no curtain, everything gets wet
- Hand shower broken (can't stay on wall and squirts water everywhere)
- No toilet paper - had to buy own
- Toilet - seat broken
- Bathroom - smelt of sewage
- No rubbish bags
- Lattice Windows and view in an internal courtyard of 4 square metres (houses really close to each other)
- No sunlight - very dark in the apartment
- Windows - Bad air
- Aircon - started off great. Then water started running down the wall. Contacted Francesca again to fix and she replied, "It is Friday night and it is the biggest holiday week end of the year I can try to find somebody to fix it hopefully tomorrow but almost everyone is on summer break until the 16th." Never heard from her again.
- Internet - hit and miss.
- Hairdryer (blew smoke and smelt burned, for safety we threw it in the bin. Previously occupant below also mentioned this and it was not removed)
- Oven: I messaged Francesca to ask how I turn on the over. Her response was, "The oven is a gas one I suggest you not to use it." I messaged reminding her we'd been shopping and she replied, "Try to use a long thin piece of paperboard to light the gas oven but if you smart not familiar it might get tricky or scary when the gas blows." I told her I was disappointed she didn't explain this at welcoming and had no response.
- Wasted money - throwing food out due to not being able to use stove.
- Not clean and dirty apartment
- Utensils, next to none
- Every time a door in the block closed it was bang our door so we were getting woken.
- In the description was written that we would get a bottle of wine we have still yet to receive it...?
Pros
+ Close to train station
+ Central main attractions.
+ check out - was grateful to be allowed to stay longer as our flight was later in the day.
