Pros of this flat: great location. Nice flat, big rooms, lovely little close. Super friendly neighbours.
However...I think this flat has the potential to be great, but is, in fact, just good. It was fairly clean when we arrived; however, my daughter opened a big bowl with a lid and we found in there the remnants of what looked like Sangria. Obviously left a while previously..
The host never bothered to send me details of how we would check into the flat. I had to send him numerous messages and eventually call him the night before we arrived. The first day we were there, we went to use the shower and the water was cold. I called the host a few times and there was no answer. Eventually, we found the boiler and realised it had been set on a timer. Surely if you're renting out a flat for a few days you would just turn on the hot water? How would you know what time your guests want to take a shower?
Also, there was a leak in the bathroom sink when we arrived. I messaged the host, but there was no reply from him. When I eventually managed to get hold of him, he said he already knew about it but hadn't got around to having it fixed as it wasn't urgent. Would you not think of alerting your guests?
Also, the oven wasn't working. We just found out when we went to make dinner for 3 hungry children the first night of our stay and we had to end up heating the frozen pizzas in the grill instead (wouldn't recommend!).
I found that getting hold of the host was pretty much impossible. The Airbnb site states that it takes him an hour to reply, but that's not true at all. It takes days, if he actually replies at all. Also, Airbnb states the host will provide a manual with house rules/ information - no such thing was provided.
So did we enjoy our stay? Yes, absolutely. We loved the location and the quirky little close. Would we stay there again? No. I found the host's attitude a bit sloppy and unhelpful.
