I’ve been using Airbnb for many years, and I’ve always had wonderful experiences. I have never ever written a bad review, but I think this time is needed. I really had a bad experience on this place. I was supposed to stay a whole month, and I barely stayed three days, and I lost money. Self-check-in was easy and fast. I never had to meet the host in person. I moved in and on my second day when I woke up I had message through my Airbnb app stating that for two nights in a row neighbors had complained about loud noise coming from my apartment. But this was not true at all! It was not a friendly request. The host had immediately called Airbnb and started a complaining process. I was shocked. The host warned me with charging fine on me if I ever dare to make loud noise, late night. I was shocked. From 1 to 2 a.m. I was sleeping, which was the time period in which they alleged noise was coming from my apartment. So I decided to better move out since I was noticing that my host wasn’t feeling comfortable with me around. When I told the host that they couldn’t fine me because they had no proof of such alleged noise. They immediately told me that I had broken the house’s rules. Because on the first day after I moved in, my cousin passed by to hand me some money he owed me. Of course he came in like for 20 minutes, he didn’t sleep over. It was less than 20 mins. The alleged Administration was going to charge a fine on them because I had broken a rule, I state “alleged” because it looks more like a family business rather than some external service. At this point, I felt they were just trying to find a way, by any means, of charging a fine on me, so they could take some money or whatever, at this point I don’t know. I felt UNCOMFORTABLE, I felt like being spied by them on cameras.
I had chosen this place based on their Super Host reputation. I’ve been travelling the world for many years, from Asia, Africa, Europe to America, and I try to make my decisions based on their Airbnb status and comments. I personally believe a Super Host shouldn’t behave like this. I was renting an ENTIRE apartment, and I was paying A LOT for it, and I couldn’t never ever have someone coming over for 20 minutes. Come on! This is crazy.
I prefer to better lose some money and going somewhere else where I could feel safe and comfortable than staying at this place. Please think twice before dealing with this people.
