We stayed at this Airbnb for 4 nights and of the many airbnbs we’ve stayed over the years this is definitely at the bottom. I think the overall check in process is tedious and needs improvement. The check in process needed to be provided prior to booking so people can know how to check in as had I known, we would have chose somewhere else. The box with the key is located away from the property behind a dirty street sign and is hard to get too because of the odd position and people in the surrounded flats are staring at you the entire time.
If a person is injured or has a mobile disabilities this place would not be ideal as it’s on the 2.5 floor. So you have to take the elevator to the third floor and go down stairs or go to the second floor and go upstairs. (The elevator also broke down during our stay) With lots of luggage this was annoying.
The photos provided of the inside were quite accurate but it needs work, the photos are old. And the place needs is a bit work and updating.
Also no photos of the outside was provided on the listing and when you arrive at the location the outside is the complete opposite of what the inside looks like. We felt like we were at a ghetto cheap motel on the outside. I think photos of the outside need to be shared on the listing as it would give people an idea of what to expect.
The black iron gate that guards the door to the flat is hard to open and close and we constantly felt like the key might break and you had to push against it to make it line up to lock or open.
When we FINALLY got inside to the flat the power was out and the host instructed us as to how to get it back. The power kept going continuously during our stay and the WiFi barely worked.
It then turned out that the power was going out because there was a leakage from the shower to the electric system (which could have caused severe damage to us and property).
No shoes were allowed inside the flat but the floors are cold and the floorboards need changing and every step you take is loud and creaking. The sofas are worn and they were filthy. We barely spent anytime in the living room area because of this.
I definitely don’t think this Airbnb was worth the current price. And I would NOT stay there again.
