There were several hiccups during our stay at Strahinja’s place from 25 to 27 May 2018.
Firstly, the lift was not working, yet my family and I only found out about it upon reaching the Airbnb. While we greatly appreciate the host’s mom’s help in getting the luggages up to the 5th floor, such inconvenience could have been avoided if the host had the courtesy to inform us about the lift defect beforehand (the letter regarding the lift repair/replacement work that was shown to us was dated 22 May, i.e. before we were due to arrive). Hence, it brought us great inconvenience, especially because we were travelling with two elderly women who have difficulty climbing the stairs. In addition, the stairwell was not well lit; there was only one electric candle on each floor — this made climbing up the stairs at night especially dangerous.
Furthermore, we were promised to have the host’s team help us transport the luggages down during check out. However, no one turned up, and we were left to carry the luggages downstairs on our own.
Besides the inconvenience brought about by the lift defect, the apartment was alright, except that the attic bedroom was exceptionally stuffy and crammed. We had to sleep facing a really dark corner (there was no way to manoeuvre without hitting our heads easily while getting up due to the design of the roof — slanting downwards towards the dark corner) so it was quite uncomfortable. However, the rest of the apartment was fine — generally clean and comfortable.
