ATTENTION DO NOT BOOK THIS AIRBNB!!!
When we came to the appartment there was NO WATER in the appartment, no toilet working, no shower working!!!
He said this was because they cut the water in the whole city, but nothing was mentionned nowhere in the newspapers, and all of the closeby restaurants and local watertaps had no problems with the water... no locals when we asked had heard anything of this. The other Bk&B we ended up renting last minute had no waterproblem either.
We got a message saying there was no water AFTER check in time and when we had messages we were already on our way to the appartment. so for us it was too late to cancel and get the money back from AIRBNB. When we came he told us to go buy a sixpack of water! First i was shocked and tired and did not know what to do, so i said ok and took the key because we had nowhere else to stay. Right away I sent a message to get the night for free or cancel.
When we said we wanted to cancel already on place, he refused to cancel on his part lying that is was not possible for him. I asked to see his phone it was not true. He said he refused to pay back the amount to airbnb. He insisted to cancel the reservation on our part. He even told us he never cancelled before and always made the guest cancel if they did not want to stay ( which indicate it probably happened several times)
After arguing intensily with him a lot for about 1h and INSISTING VERY MUCH (because he tried to leave several times) he gave us some of the money back but not all ...... but only after he made us cancel the reservation!!!
He even had the nerve to say he was nice to us because he paid us some part of the money back - which is NORMAL when there is no water, no toilet, no shower in an appartment he is renting out during 42 degrees outside.
Horrible experience, and a lot of time lost, STAY AWAY, looks like a BIG SCAM!!
