Based on all our Airbnb stays this one was the worst for us - 2 adults / 2 kids (world travellers - we stay at different places every 1-2 weeks)
Pros:
- clean and newly refurbished apartment
- check-in: agency person met us on arrival, everything was explained in detail
- fast internet, Netflix is included or someone forgot to log out of their account.
Cons:
- EUR250 deposit: this is to be paid on arrival outside the Airbnb system (against Airbnb T&Cs I believe) - please note the deposit IS mentioned in the House Rules but I didn't read this at the time of booking. We never paid any deposit anywhere in the world, and I would not have booked the stay if I had read this before. It took another week and a reminder email to the agent to release the holding deposit on my card. This is also mentioned in the house rules.
- this apartment is one of 4 (6?) in this building, and they are all on Airbnb - the isolation in the building is terrible. You hear everything that's happening in the other apartments.
- this might be just us - but during our stay, two other apartments were having a party, including walking up and down the common staircase, music up to the limits and someone pretty drunk trying to crawl up the staircase. On contacting the agency via Airbnb message, they responded in time and said they would contact the other guests. Nothing changed, but 2 hrs later, they all left the building, and it was quiet until they returned around 4 am which woke us up as you can hear every footstep but no more party at that point. We were about to leave the next day anyway, so just got on with our sleep.
- at the time of our stay, our terrace was unusable as some repairs were going on. This was not communicated before, and even the check-in lady seemed surprised. It should be reflected in the price, but wasn't.
- "up and coming area" can be interpreted in different ways. Our interpretation was more along the lines of "run down, feels unsafe and with loads of empty buildings plus construction going on"
- parking: there is very little space in front of the house and they were all occupied. We parked a few hundred meters away.
- as a result of all of the above, we only used the apartment for sleeping and spent most of our time away. We only used a few mugs and plates, so can't say much about the appliances et al.
