Pros:
- Apartment is beautiful with nice furniture, and is clean; tho bed sheets a bit dusty
- Grocery shops and restaurants are close by
Cons:
- Unusual communication scheme; I was asked to provide my WhatsApp number and was placed in a 10-member group chat; where I don’t really know any of them and why do I need to communicate to all! (Also no body introduced themselves in the group). Despite all of these people in the group, it was radio silence until the night before check out, asking me when I’ll be leaving in the morning, and asking me to rate the apartment 5 out of 5! … Also I was asked to provide a photo copy of my passport; which never happened to me before on Airbnb, and I refused.
- The apartment is on the 4th floor with no elevator
- The apartment was advertised to have multiple bedroom with air conditioning; however, only one bed room and the living room have air conditioning. The other guest had to sleep on the sofa in the living room because of it. Of note, the person who helped us in, was sympathetic, and provided us with a fan to ameliorate the issue… Also, he communicated with the host and they offered us another “close by” apartment with air conditioning, we walked there maybe 15 min, and we found an apartment in a really bad shape with smell and paper wall shedding off, and located in an isolated not-very-nice neighborhood, we declined the offer and walked back again to the original apartment.
