We rated our overall experience 3 stars only for a couple of reasons.
I will start with the good things:
- The host was very friendly and easy to communicate, reply messages fast.
- The location is super great, cannot ask for more on this point.
- A safe neighborhood. Although it locate in such a central spot, we felt very safe there even in the late evening.
- Everything meets the basic/essential level of requirement.
- The room looks tidy when we enter. We were 3 people sharing 2 beds - 1 main bed and 1 double size sofa bed - both setup already and with 4 sets of towels on the beds. There is enough room in the living room to move around or do exercises on our own. There are enough cups and dishes in the kitchen, but with no tea/coffee.
Now with the not so great things:
- Check in: we arrived around 10pm, which count as the late check in and was requested to leave a 20euro on the table on leaving - which is fine, BUT we are not sure what is the money for. Because when we arrive, the door was opened and the key was left on the table, that's it! If we need to pay extra, we would expect someone to be there?
- Equipment in the flat: There is a small bottle of some kind of soap (we wasn't sure if it's for the dishes or hand) in the kitchen, but there is no hand soap in the bathroom. Each bed has a double size of blanket, which looks un-washed (Not smelly or dirty though), and under it is a cleaned 1-layer sheet-cover, which means you might still touch the un-washed cover when you sleep. I found it a little bit uncomfortable but not a deal-breaker yet...We later check the list of equipment on airbnb post and found out there are a couple of things he listed there, wasn't actually available, such as gym.
- Cleanness: The flat's floor is pretty dusty, suggest you to bring a pair of slipper. The whole flat feels humid. The bathroom meets the basic requirement but not super great, smells a little bit and pretty humid - ventilation doesn't work.
- Check out: The host tried to made us leave at 10am on the check out, although the Airbnb advertisement says checkout time is 11am. We talked about it and at the end he agrees we can check out at 11. It would be nicer if we didn't have to argue on that.
