Host was friendly but I felt that she had misrepresented the apartment. The apartment is in a perfect location close to the university which was what I had been looking for. However, I also wanted privacy so that I can study, and I felt the apartment listing was not clear enough and actually grossly misrepresented.
So, please take note that you will share the apartment with the owner that lives in permanently. The room is not like a private bedroom, it is more like a room in the apartment that does not have a proper door but only a glass door with a see-through sheet hung in front of the door that does not give much privacy.
Take note that you do not have a private bathroom either and that you have to share a bathroom and toilet with the owner. If this was mentioned in the listing I would not have considered this apartment at all, especially since I could get other similarly priced apartments that was totally private and not shared with anyone.
Also take note that the apartment is advertised as having a large kitchen. It did not have a stove or an oven, only a warm plate to cook your food on. I expected an oven at least as I wanted a self-catering unit with a kitchen so that I can cook myself.
All in all I was disappointed and this was my first experience with an AirBnB booking. I am a bit apprehensive about future listings and whether apartments are misrepresented or a true reflection of what I am going to get.
