This wasn’t an AirBnB from hell experience. However, we were quite disappointed with our stay at this AirBnB. Prior to check-in (3pm), we asked the host if there was any possibility of dropping bags at the Airbnb as we had to be at a music festival. We were advised that this would be possible from 1pm. However, after waiting in a nearby cafe for almost two hours, we were then told this would be no longer possible (annoying, but ok). After waiting for two more hours for check in, nobody showed up. In the end, the host was 50 minutes late for check in (all while during a storm).
After arrival to the property, it was clear that the building was under major construction works, including a massive hole right outside the front door, live wires exposed throughout the building and planks of wood to walk on for access. Due to these construction works, signposting throughout the building informed us that we could not use the bathroom at certain times of the day (10:00-14:00). None of this information was communicated to us from the host or the listing during booking.
When entering the Airbnb it was clear that it was not very clean, with both live and dead cockroaches scattered throughout the apartment (including one in the bed). There was also a lack of basic necessities (no shower gel/shampoo, half a roll of toilet roll for four people for four nights).
The apartment itself looks nice but is very hastily put together with all sorts of construction issues (don’t be misled by the photos). The sliding doors for the bedroom and toilet afford no privacy. Even if we could use the toilet, you certainly wouldn’t feel comfortable doing so unless everybody was out!
All in all, this is probably one to avoid.
