Martina is an attentive host and is great at communication when needed.
Here are the pros and cons of the airbnb:
Pros:
1. The bed is surprisingly comfortable despite the mattress being all spring, the firmness is present.
2. The location was good as it was a bit out of the noisy city centre and the place was overall quiet.
3. The AC and WiFi worked like a charm.
4. The water pressure in the shower is really good.
Cons:
1. The biggest issue was the pungent smell coming from the toilet. It smelt like either sulfur or sewage which got worse every morning. Despite purchasing some smell diffusers, the smell continued to get worse so please be aware.
2. The light bleeds in from all sides lf the AirBnB as there are no black out curtains. Hard to sleep past 5am.
3. I never expect a host to put out a lot of amenities but there was 1 dish washing pod for 5 days of stay and a lack of toilet paper + kitchen towels which I’ve rarely had an issue whilst staying at different Airbnbs.
4. The AirBnb does have a balcony but you can’t take advantage of it due to the crazy amount of bugs and spiders + webs as you open the little terrace doors. Furthermore, despite keeping the windows closed, we found many spiders and mosquitoes in flat.
5. Lastly, the lack of kitchenware was a bit disappointing. For instance, there were no cutting boards, simple mixing spoons or even sharp enough knives to cut meat or fruit.
