Unfortunately, I cannot give these hosts 5 stars. I understand that it's business but allowing me to book a one-month stay while there was a massive remodel on the building next door was unethical. I just walked by there (11/16) and the building next door is far from finished. (Was told 4-5 days from when I first mentioned it a month ago)

.You can look at my profile and see that my reviews are always very fair and that I live full-time in Airbnb‘s, so here is my fair review outside of the construction: The host was extremely communicative and dealt with things immediately. She was very friendly and would frequently check in on me to make sure everything was OK.
.
. The flat itself was quaint, a few repairs needed but lovely none the less. The Wi-Fi was great and the bed was comfortable. Unfortunately, the IKEA chairs for the table are frequently used in AirBnBs are the absolute worst but luckily they had a bench that I could use to work at the table. The space could use a proper desk with a proper chair.
.
. There were a lot of nice touches and extension cords everywhere, though there needs to be better electricity access to the electric oven.
.
. The building was kept very clean and it is a real plus that the flat is only up one flight of stairs but keep in mind that you will be needing to go up a lot of stairs or a hill to get to some of the main attractions. Though, you can go down the hill to get to the T1, which is nice.
.
. The hosts provide regular cleaning and when they come they change the sheets and towels, which is a real plus but I do recommend leaving an extra set of sheets and towels in the flat in case of emergencies or accidents. Keep in mind that the walls are rather thin as it is an old building but aside from the construction, it is a very quiet street and I could see it being a wonderful place to stay in the future.
.
. All in all, had the couple informed me of the construction, I would have not booked and I’m so glad that I was able to pay for a month of their bills while I suffered with the construction. This would have been a five star review with practically nothing bad to say but how dare you put people in that position. I feel bad for the people who have booked for the month of November and I recommend you put it in your ad when the construction is completed.
