The instructions to pick up the key from the lock box differed between the info on Airbnb and the email I received from the host, with different coloured boxes and 2 different codes provided. However, the main problem was that the key wasn’t in the lock box and I couldn’t get in! I contacted the host and got a reply around an hour later, but it was well over 2 hours before the problem was resolved. I received apologies, but this didn’t help me (a) drop my bag off (b) shower or (c) change for the evening. The whole thing was a fiasco and spoilt my evening.
When I could finally access the property, it was fine. Clean and tidy, and the shower room and kitchen were modern.
The host does not live there; it’s all set up for short term / overnight rentals.
There was a problem with the shower; the drain was blocked so you could only have the shortest shower without risking a flood of the (tiny) bathroom.
All in all, this was unsatisfactory. The least you should be able to expect is to be able to gain entry to where you’ve paid to stay, and a shower.
It didn’t matter to me, but in case it does to you; there was no sign of the colourful cushions that feature in the photo.
The room is small, but it’s fine and there is a chair, desk and somewhere to hang your clothes. A bottle of mineral water had also been left, which was welcome.
Had I been able to get access to the room at a time that suited me, I would have been satisfied, but as it was, I was severely inconvenienced and disappointed.
