I should have read all the reviews properly.
Since last two months I had been living in airbnbs as I was travelling through UK but unfortunately this was the most horrible experience I had.
The host forgot to give me the right code while checking in which made me super panicked for 1.5 hours standing outside at 10pm. The lockbox was inside a garbage cupboard and the stink was intolerable- we were trying to open the box for 1 hour within that stink (she later moved the lockbox outside after i sent airbnb photos).
The communication throughout my stay with host was awful. Needed to contact airbnb support each time for the host’s reply.
The place is really far from central london and needs multiple changing of transportation.
My packed food was thrown out of their fridge without even informing me. The host never offered any compensation. I was scared to put foods later on. I stayed for a whole week, did not have much option.
With my previous stays i did not have any issue, so never had to contact airbnb. but when I needed them the most, they did not help me. They’d never offer any compensation on your sufferings. I am super disappointed with airbnb specially. I would never choose it again. Better to book cheap hotels somewhere else.
