This place is hard to review because, in itself, it is a beautifully furnished, very clean flat in a convenient location. I can see why it got so many positive reviews - if nothing goes wrong, I’m sure you’d have a great stay.
Unfortunately, during our stay, something did go wrong. At 8.30 in the morning, we were woken by hammering and drilling in the flat next door, which continued at maximum level throughout the day. It was impossible to hold a conversation or watch tv inside the flat, let alone sleep. We got in touch with the company who is in charge of the rental in lieu of the host, and they were polite, but utterly unhelpful. We asked whether they could find out what was going on, whether it would continue throughout our stay, and at what times. While they were keen to send messages like “this is not a hotel but a private accommodation”, they took all day to come back with an actual answer, and then it amounted to “we don’t know, but it’s probably the young couple next door, we don’t know their names but why don’t you try talking to them.” When we asked what their policy was if we had to cancel our booking because of the noise, that question also remained unanswered. At one point, I got a message from AirBnB support - whom I had also contacted to find out about possibly rebooking - asking whether I had heard from the hosting company since AirBnB hadn’t heard back from them.
In the evening, we came home to a dozen large bin bags full of debris in the stairwell, waiting to be cleared away - which gives you an idea of the scale of the work being done and the level of noise. Fortunately, there was no more construction on the next day, so we decided to stay.
But the lack of support from this rental company means that for any future AirBnB booking, I will check whether the host is an actual person or whether it has been outsourced. I’ve been using AirBnB for years and have had lots of great stays where the hosts were friendly, helpful and keen to answer any questions. This was not one of those.
