The place, the experience and most importantly the host was exactly the opposite of the reviews.
To begin with, our host did not inform us of the ongoing taxi strike even though I had asked her multiple times about getting to her place.
We had 5 bags and we had to walk all the way 2kms in hot summer weather.
We had traveled 9 hours from southern Italy with multiple delayed bus and train schedules, host seemed to have 0 sympathy bone for that. She wanted our passport pictures for ID which is pretty standard in any airbnb or hotel. I had told her I would send it over to her as soon as we settle in and freshen up, but no she could not and would not wait for 5 long minutes.
I was just having the first meal of my day at 9pm and she comes knocking on the door for the ID pictures, at which point I send her mine and tell her I would send my partner’s ID proof as soon as he is out of the bathroom. But no, she wants me to drag my husband out of the bathroom for her to get his ID proof.
We asked for some cutlery to eat our food, which was again given to us reluctantly. And there is a note on the listing which says check in is available 24 hours a day, and we arriving at 8:45pm was a big problem for our host.
Coming to the place itself, it wasn’t the greatest of the places for the money paid. There are a lot of mosquitos and ants. We are in a better airbnb today which is a good locality, right by the bunny bridge and much better host, and guess what for a cheaper price than Claudia’s.
The whole experience left a very negative taste of the place and we felt very racially discriminated to say the least. Would never recommend it to anyone! You are better elsewhere
