I did not have a good experience. There was a cup full of cigarette butts outside the main entry. The hallways smelled of damp and smoke. While the apartment had good bones, it showed signs of major wear and tear, stains, smells and dust; so much so that we did not even want to sit on the living room furniture and we didn't. The carpets were grey but still looked dirty and the apartment did not smell clean and fresh. The key to the apartment door did not function smoothly and opening the door every single time was a struggle. When I complained to the host about the condition of the apartment and told her I was disappointed, (since I had her whatsapp) I was asked to communicate through Airbnb only. When I complained to Airbnb, the customer service rep asked me to keep sending him pictures and other information at midnight and then refused to do anything about it sighting it as not enough evidence - not to mention this was an airbnb plus listing. He said that the host had until 3pm until next day (when our entire stay was 3 days) to get the place cleaned up and they would give us $100 for lunch as compensation. Neither did the voucher come, nor did the cleaning ever happen.
Biggest issue - When we checked the price of the apartment on the day we checked in, it was about fifty pounds a night. We paid one forty pounds a night for it. While I understand that price can change based on demand and season, this just seemed like a scam.
Disappointed with host and with Airbnb. Hugely disappointed.
