TLDR: Not my cup of tea, but it is very central. Very noisy from piping and upstairs voices (speaking as someone who can sleep in trains etc), lock too hard, seemed unclean, few and very dim light sources, communication can be a bit confusing with several contacts and only on an online message app as host didn't respond in Airbnb. I guess it's an authentic experience. People are very friendly and host keen on fixing mistakes. Still, no one presents themselves or why they know who you are. It can be somewhat stressful as I'm always beware of strangers asking for personal info, travelling plans or having my number. Would rather go to a hostel next time. //
Meeting the host and check-in was nice, but get a demonstration of the door lock: Don't worry about breaking the key because you have to use BRUTE force to open it. Didn't manage to get in at one point in the afternoon. Waited for host for half hour until a stranger (presenting himself as living in the building when I asked) helped me. In September it was cold, but there is an electric heat fan. The lamps are very dim and few. A teapot and selection of tea/coffee as a nice touch. There is a closed, unlocked sliding door to the rest of the building that I was not aware of. Seeing a pile of hairs in the sink and noticing some hairs (not mine) on the bedsheets, it didn't seem clean. Host arranged a cleaning service to fix it, so after around 1,5 hours it was OK except no new bedsheed, only new pillowcase and duvet cover (probably lost in translation). At 23.30 I had to sleep. Next day, host offered to fix it but for the next night, I had already booked a hotel instead to relax. Mainly dissatisfied with the Airbnb help service: difficult to know how to proceed especially using the app. Only chat robots and disclaimers as far as eye can see, laying all responsibility on you and your host. Aircover is basically no cover.
