We were not exactly enthusiastic with the place, especially with the air quality. Due to the run-down carpet, which unfortunately covers most of the floors (except kitchen-area and bathroom) the air is dusty and very stuffy. The mould stains didn’t quite improve the air quality. The heating was powerful and we had problems to adjust the temperature. My friend has asthma and she reacted to the bad air with some asthma attacks. We tried to air the place, but it didn’t help. So people who have a similar condition or a house dust allergy better stay away from this place.
The description didn’t list the fact that the place is in the basement. However, if you look closely and read other ratings thoroughly, you can conclude that it is in fact a basement. It should also have mentioned that the ceiling is very low and for me with the height of 1,80m (5,9 feet) the size was just about enough. I guess the ceiling is 1,90m high. Well it’s a basement after all. Besides, the pictures are very misleading. The place is not as bright and friendly as in the photos. The price-performance ratio is just not right, even if you don’t have issues with your health.
After the first night, we wrote to the host, respectively their support team, with whom you communicate if you book the place. We told them about the complications. Despite the communication being quick at first, there wasn’t really any solution to our problem and we eventually didn’t hear back from them, so we involved Airbnb the next day, who helped us immediately to move out.
To be fair: the kitchen and bathroom are well equipped, the towels and the bed sheets etc. were very good. The location is quite good, you have a couple of supermarkets closebuy, and an underground tube as well as an overground train. However we wouldn’t recommend it due to our experience.
