I chose this place due to the good reviews - unfortunately, however, the reviews are mostly good because of Fiona, who was not there when I booked the place.
One of her friends was taking care of the place, and my experiences were very unpleasant (I have used airbnb as a guest and a host quite a lot and this was maybe the worst experience):
- First of all, Fiona gave me the contact details of her friend only minutes before I checked-in upon my request.
- The (male) friend, further, did not respect my privacy, knocking at my door and waking me up once, and when I told him I wanted to sleep he tried to get into the room anyway (presumably to check if there was a plant in the room?)
- There was an instance where at night someone (I was in the apartment while Fiona's friend and a male guest were there, too) walked to my front, stood in front of it (I could here the person) and then left.
- Fiona's friend had their room next to mine, came home late and then started talking to the dog (that was around 1:30am) and then listening to music..the noise started again at 5:30am...
Mentioning my safety concerns to Fiona this was her answer (quote): "(...) and at no time ever was there a safety issue"
Not sure how she knows since she was not there, but OK then.
I cancelled and booked another place.
