The best thing within this home was it’s location. You are 15-30 minutes walk from all the sites and attractions. Great view of the city.
As far as everything else goes, very disappointed. I was first told a week prior the stay that we would have to pay some sales tax which was not communicated during the initial booking. We paid cash to the person that let us in. Weird part was he needed pictures of our passports for the apartment complex.... fishy. None of this was disclaimed on the app for this location.
Next, the day prior he gave us a cont at of someone to get ahold of when we arrive. Mind you, we do not have Wi-Fi and costs a lot to call outside our plan so I asked if I could just stay in communication with him on this app. He didn’t help this situation and I had to call the person after no communication that we had arrived. This individual seemed very new to this task but showed us around and gave us places to check out and asked if I was going to be in constant with another woman. We were confused and said we had been only speaking to the host and he proceeded to give us another contact along with contacting him if anything arises.
Upon his leave, I noticed my phone was connected to the internet but no signal at all no tried all my devices and my laptop, nothing. I contacted the host with the issue, nothing. I even restarted the router but nothing. We stayed there for 4 days and I contacted him 2 times a days for the Wi-Fi issue along with contacting the other two people I had for this location. No answer. The host finally contacted me the last day of our trip to apologize and let us know there in fact was a problem with the Wi-Fi and he would refund some amount. Nothing yet.
The only way we could get on the internet/Wi-Fi was to leave the apartment and pay money at a restaurant to use their Wi-Fi. A lot of money and time went towards that.
Bedroom sheets, blankets, and comforter all smelled bad and as if not washed. We eventually just bought sheets.
Overall, bad experience from all the Airbnb’s I have stayed at. No communication, no resolving any issues, weird sales tax paid which was never informed to us during our initial air BNB payment, pictures of passports taken for entrance.... all in all bad, suspicious, disgusting, and not a humbling experience. Like I said, the view was all this place had.
