DO NOT STAY HERE, PLEASE!
We were kicked out the morning after our first nights stay by an unknown male intruder and given 30 minutes to pack up and leave. This unknown male did not make himself known, he simply walked in on me whilst i was undressed with no warning. He refused to give us any reason, so for all we knew he was also unknown to Stefania. We have still been given no refund for night 2.
Stefania had told me she would be away for the weekend so i would assume that no one would see me undressed. She has cameras so either this male has told her, otherwise her cameras could be assumed to look inside. She gave me no warning that a male would come round to kick us out and failed to attend herself to speak to us.
This is all because we threw what Stefania considers a 'party' - basically three friends came round as a convenient meeting point at 2pm on a Saturday for 1.5 hours, before we all left for the day. She has cameras and so she will be watching.
You are not allowed to make use of kitchen utensils without giving advance notice, as it is assumed in all other shared air bnbs, so unless you ask her with prior notice, be warned about eating your own breakfast or making a cup of tea in the kitchen area.
You are not allowed to smoke outside the property, in open air, even if all windows and doors are shut and you dispose of your cigarette butts. Although this may seem to be a reasonable complaint, there are no absolutely no clear rules about smoking outdoors on this list.
Stefania is highly difficult to communicate with, unreasonable and treats her guests without any consideration or any attempt to see their point of view.
Myself and my friend have been extremely distressed, however also apologetic, respectful and accepting of her decision for us to vacate the property within the 30 minutes given.
However this was very difficult considering we needed to pack and make sure we did any tidying up required (i.e empty bins, strip beds, wiping any surface as you usually would). Stefania has treated our apologetic responses with zero regard for us and never offered a refund for night two.
This has been the worst experience we have ever had with air bnb, and even if some mistakes were made (smoking outside the front/ having 3 respectful friends round as a short meet up) we feel her reaction was completely out of order. Do not stay here if you want to be respected and have your intimate privacy respected.
