let me preface this review by I booked this airbnb for the four us, who are all young professionals heading into our late twenties. we have all flatted for the better part of the last 10 years, so understand consideration for others in a shared home.
this was by far the worst airbnb experience I have ever had. On my booking note, I told Silke we will be in town for a concert and she was fine with this. the night we arrived we were super tight on time and pretty much got in, got ready and left for the concert we came back at 2 am (three of us, fourth stayed elsewhere) the only words that were said was "do you feeling like talking or you just wanna go to bed" - "nah im gonna go to bed" we all retired to the separate rooms and I went to get a glass of water when I saw silke and say oh you're up late? she replied and says yeah you woke me up. taken aback I automatically apologized. "it's fine" she said, it obviously was not fine.
at 4am, one of the guys got up to go pee, he was half asleep and dropped the toilet seat to which silke ran out and screamed can you keep it down, I'm trying to sleep. the next morning my partner was in the kitchen when she passive aggressively says, I didn't sleep at all after 2am.
I almost felt the need to remind silke we were paying to be staying at her place, a fair amount I would say. Silke was in the living room the entire time, we all felt so uncomfortable in the house the entire time, we avoided it as much as possible, one of friends even drove back home early on Saturday night so he didn't have to stay. I never saw the stunning view her listing boasts as I never made it to the living room.
furthermore when I went to go have a shower, even thought I turned on the exhaust she would run in straight after me and do a second clean up and open up all the windows. It made me feel like I was a burden to Silke.
however, the amenities were as described, I have no qualms
all I can say is that, I genuinely cannot imagine how such a intolerant woman could run an airbnb, having looked at her reviews now, I should've known better.
If you are someone who is coming to Wellington for an event or you will be out late, you have been warned not to stay here. I only gave a one star because I could not have gone lower.
Im sure Silke will write an essay of a rebuttal, take what you will from this review :)
