wouldn’t recommend this stay for solo travelers. i’m an american student studying in paris and i decided to come to zurich for a weekend trip - i booked this airbnb because it was inexpensive but it unfortunately did not live up to my expectations. to sum it up, the door to my room wouldn’t lock, the blinds didn’t close, the music was loud, and the wifi didn’t work (like at all.. not even downstairs in the bar). as a young, female, solo traveler, i need to feel safe and be able to contact my loved ones, both of which i couldn’t do at this stay.
to make matters worse, when i cancelled my trip and contacted airbnb support to get a refund, the host, katie, messaged me very angrily and asked if i was a scammer… i apologized to her but i felt that it was the best decision for me to cancel and book a hotel room instead.
on the bright side, the room was very clean and the location is great. this airbnb could work for a group of friends (the room is very spacious with 3 beds) or for a small family on a budget. just not for me.
