I would review the experience and the property separately. First and foremost I saw only 5 star reviews which makes me believe that this was a one off experience. The apartment is very nice, gorgeous. Strong internet, nice hot shower, a fantastic space. It's in a very nice location, initially it looked a little seedy, but we soon found out it was a nice neighborhood and conveniently located. Our host even went out of her way to inquire about motorcycle parking at a lot close by. My review of the experience was a bit different and I'm not sure if part of it was due to cultural issues or just different personalities. We had a travel change due to family members changing their plans and gave our host notice ( 24 hours) that we would be arriving by train later than expected (7pm). This was not received well by the host, and the interactions that transpired after initially letting her know about the change in arrival time escalated to the point of us debating whether to cancel and book at a hotel. After she said that if we arrived later than 7pm (ie if the train was late beyond our control) we would be arriving at "our own risk." It ended up being a nice visit but was kind of tainted due to this. I thought prior to the change in arrival time she was very helpful. The house also has many rules, which I can understand but was a little extreme for us (maybe just a personality difference), but there are notes with rules everywhere. Didn't meet the owner and person you communicate with, only communicated via messaging, however the person we did meet at the apt was friendly. I think if we had a set travel plan that we knew couldn't change it could make sense. However this was quite different than the majority of experiences we've had at other airbnbs.
