Arbe was nice and welcoming (she welcomed my friend, I arrived later) however her flat did not match our expectations at all (nor expectations of 2019 basic comfort). We had rented it originally for 2 months (59nights exactly) but decided to leave (even at a loss!) after 14 terrible nights due to those reasons:
* The main bedroom: the bed is not a bed but different size mattresses on top of each other, covered by a comforter for 1 person that does not cover the entire bed. Conclusion: my friend quickly got a backache from sleeping in this bed.
* We're still looking for the second bed aka the "sofa bed". How can we let people sleep on this "sofa bed" in 2019. We had to buy an air mattress from day 2 that even airbnb proposed to reimburse us.
* The sofa is old and dirty, in poor condition, and has bugs leaving in the inside foam. We kept being bitten by bugs when we sat on it. We had to buy a cover for the sofa (once again airbnb proposed to reimburse us).
* The armchair probably comes from the street as it is also in very poor condition and cracked at the head level. Try it and you'll see.
* Everyday we were in the flat, the water pipes were making very loud noises (we recorded a video to send to airbnb) and it was waking us up every single night.
* The toilets were getting stuck almost every time. To a degree that we ended up removing the lid of the toilet to manually unlock the flushing mechanism, almost after EACH USE... YES, that's it.
We were not the first leaving this apartment before the end! We left at a loss and we know why, she knows why, yet does Airbnb visited it?
If you plan to stay one night, you can accept the bites and not to sleep in those "beds" but if you plan to stay longer, be aware of the all those details that you don't see on the "pictures" on Airbnb or your stay can turn to nightmare. We keep our photos, videos & sounds available for anyone willing to know what to expect as well as the Airbnb team working on this case!
