The long and short is I would NEVER stay here again and would NOT recommend this place.
This place was conveniently located within a 12 minute walk from the Train station. Not much around for food/nightlife but didn’t feel unsafe in/around the area.
Check in should have been straightforward but the buzzer at the front of the building didn’t work - multiple people came up and couldn’t get the buzzer to work either. When reporting this to the host were told ‘it works’…. We had to wait 20 minutes outside for someone to leave the building and then tailgate in to get to the ‘hotel’.
The private space was essentially a standard/small hotel room. Clean/barebones. AC was ok. The bed was saggy and not comfortable. The room itself felt pretty clean however there was black mold throughout the shower. There was a common area with couch/TV/dining table and a kitchen, however no dishes, cooking pots/pans/utensils and the fridge/freezer are permanently shut off. So you can only use the microwave. The walls are thin and we could hear our neighbors talking and coming and going all night long.
We specifically chose this place because it had a fridge in the room and a crib advertised in the post given we have a one year old and he drinks milk which needs to be kept cold. We arrived a little early and were let in before standard check in which we appreciated. We messaged the host when we returned to the room with cold groceries to find the room fridge warm. He essentially told us that he ‘knows it works’ and to just turn the dial the other way to ‘minimum’ which doesn’t make sense. We tried both ways and it never got very cold over a course of 3 days. When we arrived in the room early, the crib wasn’t in the room. On asking the host via the app at 2pm we were told it would arrive in the afternoon. We messaged again on returning to the room at 7 with no response. At 730 (after putting our one year old to bed on a blanket on the floor because it was past his bedtime) we received a message that the crib would be dropped off in 15 minutes. While we were in the common area, the host stormed through the door with the crib, aggressively raising his voice and tried to enter the bedroom where our son was already asleep and shouted at us about how we can leave immediately if we want to and he ‘doesn’t care about our money’. After leaving he sent us a number of messages delivering an ultimatum that we either stay and not complain or leave the next day before 10 and be refunded those two days’ stay. We were made to feel unwelcome, our privacy violated, and unsafe.
I would NOT stay in this place again and we were searching for other places to stay that very first night given our interaction with the host alone.
