The flat was as showed in the pictures and our stay there was good, but unfortunately we had a couple of issues along the way.
Before we went to Valencia, I got contacted by Iroslav, who asked me about the time of our arrival. I asked him for his mobile number to be able to communicate faster and let him know if anything would change. I sent a message to this number, but I received a response from a lady, who said her name was Daria and she had nothing to do with Airbnb. I sent an email to Iroslav, asking if the number was correct and he told me that yes and that it belonged to his wife, Tatiana, who would let us in, as he wasn’t in Valencia. He said that he would inform his wife that we would arrive slightly later than expected, instead of 16-17, 17-18. I called the number and Daria picked up, still saying that she had nothing to do with Airbnb. A moment later I received a call from this number and now it was Tatiana. She couldn’t explain too well what was happening with the phone number, she didn’t speak neither Spanish, nor English too well. We managed to agree that she would be waiting for us between 17-18, although she wanted me to commit to an exact hour. Later on, she sent me a message on Whatapp, saying that she would be able to let us in until 17:30 and then only after 20:00. We managed to get there before 17:30, but the person expecting us at the flat wasn’t Tatiana anymore, it was a friend of hers. I asked her about a private parking spot mentioned in the apartment description, but she didn’t know anything about it, she told me that she and Tatiana were only showing the flats. She told me that she wasn’t from this neighbourhood and couldn’t really advise me on parking (we got there by car). The whole thing was really discomforting, not something you expect from a good Airbnb host. I didn’t know how many unverified people had access to the flat and throughout the stay I was worried about my belongings.
The other problem that we experienced was a massive construction work just next to the building. It started on 1 August 2017 and will continue during 17 months. It meant that we couldn’t get much sleep after 8 AM… I am aware that the owner cannot do anything about it, but I think it is an important piece of information for other travellers.
