A disappointing experience. After following all instructions to ensure someone is present for checkin—including giving exact time of arrival on the day before AND calling 30 minutes ahead before arrival—we were still made to wait half an hour. Each time I called to make sure someone is on the way, they said 5-10 minutes. Lies. Please don’t lie and then use traffic as an excuse. Whoever is managing these listings should hire more people or be better organized. This appears to be a constant problem as we witnessed the guests for the apartment upstairs (definitely same host) waiting even longer than we did.
We appreciated the cleanliness, location, and WiFi. But there is ample room for improvement. Aside from the check-in problem, the shower stall leaks in pools, the light bulbs in the salon are too dim, the TV doesn’t work, the water kettle is not usable as it is riddled with lime scale, I couldn’t get the toaster to work either. Overall, I would advise to avoid if you have other options. Out of my many Airbnb experiences, this is one stands as the only disappointing one. Maybe if the cost is half of what they are charging, then it would make a lot more sense.
The place looks shabbier than in photos. It doesn’t get much sunlight as it is on a narrow street and ground floor. This is not helped by the use of flourescent light bulbs, those ones that make any space feel like a horror film set.
As for noise, it’s on a normally quiet street without cars. However, there is a neighbor dog who likes to bark from its balcony every once in a while when a dog or person shuffles by (yes even late late night, early early morning). This balcony is pretty close to one of the bedroom windows, so if you are a light sleeper...just don’t.
Not a good value. Not recommended.
