Not quite Château d'If, yet close.
The initial response from Paul was professional and timely. The directions to the Apartment were exact and check in was less than 5 minutes.
Upon entering, the room was somewhat clean, towels however soiled, kitchen in an unkempt state and bathroom, albeit shared, the other residents keep it slovenly. What really stood out was that one of the electric sockets in my room had been “sparked” and in my experience the result of a recent fire and have taken photos.
It’s gets worse.
WiFi. After several attempts to contact Paul for the WiFi code, he finally responded via text. I entered the code and received a reply from BT that it was disconnected due to Paul not paying the bill. After reporting back to AirBnB who were attentive and eager to resolve the issue. Whilst they did contact Paul. I was told a few minutes later from an AirBnB advisor that Paul was “going to pay” the bill and it would take 24 hours to clear. In the UK, these type of issues are usually dealt with within an hour, so I expect an untruth from Paul to AirBnB. I was offered to view other properties and it already being 7pm, I decided to stay and conduct important email business from a local Pub.
Going back to the room, I went to bed only to be awoken by a Woman who entered my room “to check” if I was still there, instructed by Paul. She did apologise and still nothing from Paul. Further, my sleep was interrupted several time by another resident slamming doors, creating undue noise with no thought of courtesy or manners to other guests.
Until the electrics are repaired and the room is exactly as advertised. I’d avoid this place if you value your safety.
