I have never left a bad review in Airbnb before, but I have to do it this time as it is my responsibility for other travellers to express my honest feedback. Due to the bad experience in this place, we decided to check out one day earlier. I will list the issues we had here:
- Inflexible policies
We needed to cancel the booking about a month before the travel time. However, because it was only one day past the deadline for free cancellation, the host did not accept to wave the fee. I explained that I initiated the cancellation before the deadline but there was a technical issue and it did not come through, but the host did not accept. It was really disappointing, I think the hosts need to be more understanding, especially in such uncertain situation that the plans can change because of COVID issues.
- the stinky sewer smell in the bathroom was really annoying. We had to keep the window open to reduce the smell.
- the shower cabin in the bathroom is too small. I could hardly get past the cabin door and the shower was too low hight for me, I could hardly take a shower.
- there is a LOT of noise in this place. You can hear the noise from people in the streets, the church nearby, etc. We could not sleep well because of this.
- the beds were very uncomfortable.

-the light in the room was too little and depressing.
As a result of all these issues we decided to leave this place one day before the what we originally booked.
THE POSITIVES:
Apart from the early bad experience of not accepting to wave the cancellation fee eventhough it was only one day after the deadline the host was nice and he communicates effectively and quickly.
The location is good and central.
