The property was well described and looked very similar to the photos. It was neat and styled nicely. The location was in the center of downtown, so not that far of a taxi or walk to get to places.
The only problem that we had was after an hour checking into the apartment with a young woman from the management company and taking a nap after a long day, a strange man kept knocking and ringing the door to our unit. Because of the language barrier, I could not understand what he was saying, and promptly messaged the apartment owners on the Airbnb app to see if it was someone from their management company. About five minutes later, a woman came with the man also knocking on the door and ringing the doorbell, and I asked her what they needed, because I did not want to open the door and there was no peephole for me to see through. Instead of her saying what she needed, she just asked me if she was “bothering me” and then said “sorry” and walked away (no explanation of why they were knocking/what they wanted). At the moment of this review, I still have not received a message back through the Airbnb app from the management company responding to my original question to answer if these two individuals were from their company or not.
As two solo female travelers to a new country, it can be a unnerving to have an interaction like that, and I would’ve felt much better if the management company simply texted me back to let me know if this was maintenance/a manger or a stranger. Since all of our previous communication about check in had been through the app and we were checked in “in person” with someone from their company, it was odd to all of a sudden not hear back from them nor have the individuals say what they were knocking about after we answered (with the door still closed for safety).
Outside of that mishap, the unit was lovely and picture as described, but better communication needed.
