Just for your information.
- No shower after 22:00
- No using washing machine after 22:00
- This listing’s photo 2, 5, 6, 7, 14 are the host’s work room which you are not allowed to enter.
Those are what the host told me on my arrival day. She did not want me to use the dishwasher either even though I love cooking.
I should fairly say that this flat is well located. Can be a good choice for short periods visitor.
I have stayed for a month, maybe too long for the host who wants to keep everything exactly as she want.
It was my third experience of staying via Airbnb and definitely the worst.
I felt under stress
There is no key for the room (that is what I don’t normally care) and the room door is a glass-paneled. There is a curtain but it can be closed only from inside. While you are out, people can look in your room from outside.
She had complains about me, my door closing noise, my way of locking the door etc. She turned the light off quickly after I left for example form kitchen. If it is for ecological or economical purpose, yes it’s important, but I think the reason is not that.
I felt no welcome, being always watched by the host.
She went into my room during my absence without any notice, touched my clothes, brought them away from the sofa, and covered it with a shirt to prevent what she called “dirts” which were from my cosmetic powder.
I felt very sorry for her though it was NEVER to all over the sofa, just to a tiny part of it. It was NOT from liquid, food or any raw or dirty thing. It was a powder.
She denied my offer of paying the cleaning fee.
I also took photos for evidence because I felt kinds of unsafe with all of it.
Geneva is a wonderful city, it stimulates intellectual curiosities a lot, everything is tidy, neat, clean, well organized. People are so nice and gorgeous. Though it became my favorite city, I just feel so so so sad to say that it was an unhappy stay for me.
