Karen’s place was clean, tidy and nicely decorated. It was a little bit smaller than it looks in the photos. Karen was very responsive to messages. However, I felt there were little boundaries and our privacy wasn’t respected. Karen phoned us twice and sent three messages, including one to Airbnb Support, to “check we made it to the apartment safely” and used security cameras to monitor our arrival and departure. While I understand this may be necessary in some circumstance, I felt like this was intrusive and overbearing for a host. This aside, the place was really lovely and if you don’t mind being watched, it’s a nice apartment to stay in.
