If you consider to stay longer – think twice!
We (a German couple) stayed for a month in the house of America in Avenida Sucre.
On the plus side: location (Nuñoa is great!), big room and the landlady lent us her old bike (thank you).
The down side is, however, by far longer: The overall experience was rather bad, and did neither match the description nor the positive reviews we had read.
- The house is located at a very busy intersection, with our room facing that direction. Therefore, it is REALLY NOISY, also because the windows do not close properly. Between 1 and 5AM it's okay with earplugs…
- The TINY KITCHEN and its FILTH is best described as a shit hole. The last date of a proper kitchen cleaning was probably years ago. There is a certain layer of grease on literally every single item. We had to clean everything twice before it felt safe to use. The fridge is so dirty that our landlady uses her own fridge... also the kitchen is so small that the two of us could not even cook together let alone with other flatmates.
- ONE BATHROOM/SHOWER for six people, all getting up around the same time in the morning.
- Overcrowded place: The house is rented out entirely so there is NO CENTIMETRE OF COMMON ROOM except for the patio, where we would eat every meal next to four dogs.
Overall, we felt treated like customers. That the landlady wasn't paid in time by airbnb, probably because we had filed a complaint with airbnb within the first 24h, did not improve the atmosphere either.
By now we have moved to another Airbnb. It's great! Finally we feel the Airbnb spirit again.
