What a nightmare.
I stayed in Airbnbs all over the world annd never had an issue until this. Flat was located in an incredible area but had noticeable smell immediately upon crossing the threshold. Linens in one bedroom smelled like strong body odor and were stained (host offered febreeze). Hair in the bathroom shower and toenail clippings on the floor. And yet all of that paled in comparison to the deafening rave music coming from a neighboring unit. The floors rattled and walls shook into the wee hours every single night (and during the day) and the host’s response was totally inadequate as he kept asking me to address with the neighbor and saying it wasn’t in his control. He contacted the council at one point but then asked me not to mention to them that the place was being used as a Airbnb. So sketchy. You could not pay me to stay here again. Buyer beware.
Worth noting this flat is in a bustling section of soho with many bars/ restaurants but none of this noise was bothersome.
