Positives: 1) very central and convenient location; 2) sufficient supply of bath amenities, towels etc provided; 3) quite a few nice touch things like guidebooks, lactose free milk (after the polite enquiry from the host re the need in a particular type of milk), amazon packages rerouted/brought personally to the basement etc; 4) many home appliances included
Improvables: 1) first and foremost, be prepared that you’ll be co-living with the hosts. Contrary to what’s being advertised, it’s NOT a separate apartment, it’s a basement of the existing apartment, which may be an issue for travelers concerned about privacy; 2) noise insulation between the basement and the hosts’s apartment is nonexistent, though they do limit noise to bare minimum after 10.30 pm (and ask the same from the guests); but you can clearly hear people talking and walking etc; 3) beware that if you happen to leave a few dirty dishes in the sink and a couple of trash bags near the trash bin in the apartment (since the one outside is missing in the day), and your 2 year old son spills a bit of juice on the bed sheet, you’ll be contacted by the host to pay extra USD 50 for cleaning (over and above usd 50 you pay for cleaning through Airbnb at the time of making a booking); 4) weird lock of the front door. One evening, when it was raining heavily, we were unable to get into the apartment for some time. Both hosts did not pick up the phone, and one of them who we saw enter the apartment did not open the front door. Host called in about 40 minutes after the incident with apologies; 5) interior/furniture of the basement resembles a collection of “whatever was available/left from other times/places” rather than a well thought through design project.
