The fabric of the apartment is beautiful, however we had a testing time staying there. I had booked purely on past reviews. I like to think I’m fair and constructive in my criticism. Firstly the positives - the apartment is beautiful, it’s very clean and the bed is extremely comfortable. The negatives - the electrics in the apartment were terrible, worktop sockets in the kitchen didn’t work so none of the appliances were usable. At one point we had to carry the microwave around the apartment to find somewhere to use it. We found 3 sockets in the whole apartment that worked and even they were somewhat shaky and unsafe. There were two sockets with bare wires which could well have been live. The handle on the toilet door was broken, my fiancée locked herself in at one point, had I not been there she would have had to smash a window to escape. The kitchen area had an unpleasant smell, not too dissimilar to urine. Contact/communication with the host was extremely poor. There was no one available to check us in even though we had messaged them en route to the apartment which necessitated a 45min wait for us on the doorstep, after a day of flying it didn’t set us off to a good start. After the toilet lock in debacle we contacted the host again and I’m still awaiting a call back... the response I had was “ok, I’ll call now”, that was two days ago. I’m a hardened user of Airbnb and I could tell this apartment is relatively new to the site - many of the kitchen utensils that I used still had the tags left on. I suspect the apartment is an investment property but the hosts would do well to spend a night in their apartment to understand what needs to be done to make it a 5 star rating.
