This is our last airbnb through our eurotrip— we had 6 airbnbs throughout and I could say this was the least we liked.
Cristina met us to hand over the keys and explain a few things. We communicated through email to agree on a certain time for meet up.
We had total of 5 luggages and was hard for us to walk far. She suggested through email to walk from the station 20 mins i told her we have five luggages and it will be hard so we will take a cab which will take 10 mins at that time through google maps. So we agreed to meet at 11.40 am. During the day off, I emailed her that we might be late 10 mins as google maps said there is traffic, to which she replies “I told you was better on walk...”. We arrived 1 min late—. I just felt that she could have communicated with us better regarding that.
The location was okay, could ride a bus to get to the city center.
Amenities were horrible. Everything was outdated. We had to turn on the fusebox 6 times cos the apartment cant manage a lot of things turned on at the same time.
Cristina warned us about this and we followed it. But it still kept turning off— and we didnt have everything on. Just the tv and the lights and heater for the apt still it went out.
We followed her as she said we cant have the water boiler for shower on and the tv and the lights on all at the same time cause it will be too much for the power in the apt. (Which we never had a problem in our other airbnbs)
So we turned off the boiler and guess what the next day when we switched it on it took 2 hours to heat the water and we were behind schedule cause of that.
On our last day, while packing, around 9pm, the electricity of the whole building went off. We could hear people upstairs getting upset. It took 30 mins - 1 hour to have an electricitian to get power back on for the whole building. Which set us back in packing time.
Apartment is very old. We used the iron board - it was dirty and the iron was spitting water.
There was a smell also at the apartment, we couldnt pinpoint what it was but it was foul. Chair, pillow and comforters were not 100% clean.
Only good thing is the look of the apartment. The brick walls and the paintings are nice. It makes it look nice on pics. Thats about it though. Sadly, would never go back.
