We had a terrible experience. We travel a lot and stay in many AirBnBs and Hotels. This is probably our worst experience ever and we’re not young. We booked the unit on the train from Paris to London. It has nice pictures and high reviews. Upon arrival, we noticed the unit was in a transitioning neighborhood. There was a lot of noisy construction and a busy bus station across the streets. The construction continued past 5 pm. It was warm during our stay so windows needed to open. There was no window that didn’t face construction. My husband also needed to work out of the unit and noise was troublesome for phone calls. The unit was dilapidated and furnished as cheaply as possible. The building lobby was the same but also smelled of rotten trash. Since we had only booked a few hours before, we contacted the host and attempted to get our money back. She refused. We were forced to take this place that looked nothing like the pictures or description. It did indeed prove to be very noisy. There was no access to the advertised roof deck and the kitchen was not well stocked. The walls are dirty and marred. The floor is stained and scuffed. The place is big and can sleep many. It is also well located to public transport. I also note that we contacted AirBnB to help work out the refund. AirBnB was non responsive. It makes we wonder about AirBnB’s future. It doesn’t appear to have policies to deal with units that are allowed to deteriorate to questionable habilitation standards and which have essentially false advertising. The host should have refunded even though it was contrary to the cancellation policy.
