The worst experience with a host I have ever had!
POSITIVES: The apartment is beautiful! New appliances with a washing machine. Low, affordable price.
NEGATIVES: Horrible check-in experience! I did not receive check-in instructions before I arrived. I sent the host a message at 3:34pm while I was at the airport to notify her that I was on my way. I continued to send her messages after I arrived, sitting outside at the front door, in the cold. At 4:56pm, she responded saying that she just saw my message, I heard a buzz at the front door, so I let myself in. After walking in, the hall was pitch black. Again, I sent her several messages telling her that I am in the building, my phone battery is getting low, I still don’t have instructions and it’s cold and dark. I had to contact Air BnB’s customer service for help. I was scared that I was going to have to find a hostel for the night. She finally responded at 6:29pm with the instructions and Wi-Fi password.
There was NO TOILET PAPER! NO Wi-Fi in the bedroom, only in the living room. The internet router is not in the apartment. I searched for it to see if I could get a better signal in the bedroom. It must be in a nearby apartment. No paper towels, noisy floors, thin walls (I could hear the neighbor snoring). Uber stops about a 5-minute walk away from the front door. Taxis only took me near the front door if they were willing to risk driving through the narrow street. She agreed to credit me for one night because of my check-in experience. I never received it. I guess you get what you pay for.
