Booking Request sent with check-in time at 12:00.
Owner accepted the request, then was unwilling to check-in at 12.
I Had to wait 4 hours to check in, I had to cancel and reschedule my entire afternoon for that.
After checking in, the apartment had a very strong smell, so I had to open all the windows, spray the entire apartment with air freshener and leave for an additional couple of hours.
The apartment didn't look like the pictures.
The sheets smelled like they have been stored for 5 years.
The kitchen window(1 meter away from the neighbours window) comes with no curtains, so no privacy whatsoever.
No sound insulation at all (a bit understandable since the building is old)
Owner had no flexibility at all, and had this attitude of take it or leave.
You want to cancel, you will loose your money, you want to keep the reservation, you get what you get.
Only good thing, was that Airbnb support were very responsive and supportive.
Thank you for the horrible experience.
