We didn’t enjoy our stay at all and we wouldn’t recommend booking Johns place!
We stayed for three nights and those three nights really had it in them. The room looks okay on the first sight but we quickly noticed a strong smell in the room. This smell comes from the drains in the shower as well as the sink and smells after waste water. As there is no proper door to close the bathroom we unfortunately weren’t able to prevent the smell from spreading throughout the whole room. We also had to spend a lot of money to wash literally all our clothes at our next stop because of the smell!! When we contacted John, the host, about the smell, he admitted that he’s aware of the problem but still rents the room out. That is, what we think, unacceptable as he takes advantage of his guests not knowing this beforehand. We wanted to cancel our stay and requested a refund but he stopped replying after we told him, that we don’t like the room and want to leave. A few days later, when we had to check out, he left us messages with the check out information and that he loved hosting you. That made us feel not taken seriously and made us angry! As a host you should really meet your guests needs and be cooperative! However the smell is not the only problem with this room: the bed is not the same as shown on the pictures. It rather is a like a cheap folding bed which squeaks with every move you make. And also the location is really bad. It is pretty close to the city Center, that’s right, but there’s countless homeless people in the near surroundings of the Airbnb, which made us feel very uncomfortable. Also there’s an old parking lot or something like this right across the street behind the room which is also full of homeless people being loud during the night so we struggles falling asleep.
As already said, we didn’t enjoy our stay at all and hope to protect other guest from making the same experience as we did with this review. We’d rather spend some more money on a proper room instead of going there ever again!!
