I usually don’t write a poor review but I was just surprised by a few things during my trip here. First of all, the apartment was not clean. Dust blanketed much of the surfaces, and I found some wrappers and a ton of dust under the bed. The shower and toilet was also unclean. The kitchen had an old stinky sponge on the sink. I could tell immediately that there wasn’t much care in the cleaning of this apartment before I arrived.
I was surprised by the mention of an Occupancy Tax that the host asked to collect during my stay. This was not mentioned in the listing and so, after contacting Airbnb, I was advised not to pay.
Two days after my arrival the host contacted me again and told me he had to change the locks of the apartment door. I was away from the apartment at the time, so I asked if my belongings were safe. He said they were, and that this was just a normal procedure. I thought it was strange that they needed to change the locks during the middle of my stay as I would be leaving in four days. He then asked if it could be changed while I’m out and I said i did not want any third parties in the apartment without me there. The next day I waited while they changed the locks.
Despite these inconveniences, the host was pleasant, and communicative. The location is alright, and I found it convenient that it was so close to the train station. Unfortunately, though, I would not stay here again due to the cleanliness issue and the disruptions during my stay.
