This was the single most terrible Airbnb experience I had since I started using the platform a decade ago.
First of all, the shower simply did not have enough water to be able to have a proper shower. This was not advertised on the listing. After I booked, I was told by the host that water is not strong during the day but it’s totally okay after business hours. I was not totally ok by any margin. I had to book gyms and hotel rooms to take showers. The host simply said “I told you so” and apologised, but it did not change the fact that I had to suffer throughout the one month spent at this apartment.
Next big thing is that the apartment is located in an area with frequent electricity outages. We did not have electricity for a total of 6 days, sometime 16-18 hours at a time. There is no life without electricity! The host did call the municipality and kept us updated (though there is no telling whether he was being factual in terms of when the electricity would be back). This was a horrible experience; I had to book hotel rooms when there wasn’t any electricity. The host said that it was not his fault and refused to reimburse me. This was simply horrible.
The apartment was not professionally cleaned at check in. To the last day, we found dog hair all over the apartment (the host has a lapdog). This was also not advertised. I have allergies and simply had a horrible experience because of it.
The kitchen was basically a mess and the fridge was basically a hotel mini fridge. Our food got spoilt during power outages.
Overall, I do NOT recommend this place to anyone. It was falsely advertised, not clean, and is located in an area not designed for human habitation (in a business district).
