Abukars communication was great. He offered early check in and late check out and communicated promptly throughout.
However,
This was our first air b n b experience and unfortunately, it wasnt a good one.
Arriving with 4 adults and 2 children, it wasnt adaquately sized with 2 double beds and one single bed. A sofa that folded down into a bed was used but uncomfy and not enough bedding for size of party.
On arrival, its not a good state. Not luxury at all. 4 flights of stairs in a not nice environment. Not a very good first impression.
The apartment itself wasnt as bad as entrance way or stairwell. However, we immediately noticed that there was a half eaten takeaway pizza, garlic sauce and chips left from last tenant left in oven which stank!
The dust on the oven was unreal. You could write your name in it. The headboard in one of bedrooms was falling off, and was just generall unclean. Flies were also in every room.
A large can of nitrous oxide is under the bed along with balloons scattered all over the room. Im presuming someone was using it to inhale as drugs.
It was just generally grubby and i didnt feel comortable staying there at all, especially with kids in tow! We didnt take advantage of late check out, and left at first opportunity. Not a good nights sleep as on main road with lots of traffic!
I wouldnt recommend this to other families at all. Im sure abukar is a friendly man who communicates well but its unfortunate that this isnt a property fit for purpose in any way!
