first the positive aspects:
The apartment is nice and clean. located close to the beach, ferry and all necessary shops. Check in+out was fine.
sadly the stay was overshadowed by two very big negatives:
- the listing says "portable air condition". this is a lie. the apartment has no air condition whatsoever.
after I asked the host about this, she mentioned the 2 dehumidifiers that are in the apartment are the "air condition".
these dehumidifiers do the opposite of cooling the room, since they radiate heat.
when we turned them off, we quickly noticed why they were running:
it is extremely humid since this is a apartment in the basement.
the host gave us 2 fans after my complaint. but of course they did not cool the room.
- no privacy. all the windows have see-through curtains except one in the bedroom even though the listing says otherwise. additionally the front door has a big glass window from top to bottom and you can look right into the apartment when you stand at the door.
since the apartment is located in the basement, everybody who walks past can look right into all the rooms (except the bedroom).
we had many eye contacts with strangers while eating breakfast for example. very unconformable since we were mostly in our underwear because of the heat and humidity.
furthermore the apartment is connected to the private apartment of the host. on two occasions the host opened this door and called for my name cause she had a question. also very uncomfortable.
one time our sleeping baby got woken up because of this.
I have contacted Airbnb directly because the listing is incorrect and I would have never booked this apartment if I knew it would have no air condition (while we stayed the temperatures were over 30 degrees).
I advise the host to quickly change the details in her listing and also adjust the price.
