I would not recommend ever staying at this Airbnb. My 4 friends and dog were excited for a long fun-filled weekend, which was not the case unfortunately. Our check in time was delayed, there was exposed wire in the ceiling where the smoke detector should be, dead cockroaches in the living room, curtain hook hanging onto the wall for dear life, broken shower handle, ripped furniture, no outdoor lighting with steps going down into apartment, etc. These issues were no big deal for our stay overall; however to top it all off, our privacy was invaded by co-host, Valentin. He entered the apartment without contacting me via the app/call/text while one of my friends was home alone with my dog. Imagine getting ready to undress for a shower assuming you’re home alone only to hear a strange man’s voice calling out from inside the home. Luckily she called me right away and I stayed on the phone with her during the interaction. Not only did Valentin lie about knocking and announcing himself, he entered the home with a handyman. No permission was ever given to him. The other guests and I quickly stopped what we were doing and rushed home to ensure she wasn’t alone as yet another handyman was supposed to be returning later in the day (according to the first handyman). Apparently the AC system for the hosts’ apartment on the 3rd floor wasn’t working and something electrical had to be addressed within our apartment. The handyman wasn’t even aware of the broken shower handle, but graciously fixed it when my friend pointed it out to him. A simple heads up about needing access to the unit would have been fine or even a sincere apology after the fact could have sufficed. When Valentin was immediately contacted about the privacy violation, he simply laughed it off as if we were being silly. It was clear our safety wasn’t a concern for him. Airbnb support helped my friends and I get into a different home over 8 hours later, which essentially took almost an entire day away from our trip. We had to cancel plans and dinner reservations only to sit and wait for another Airbnb reservation to be made. I have never encountered a privacy issue (or any issue to be honest) while using Airbnb and I hope it never happens again. My friends and I are very grateful to all the Airbnb support staff and new host for helping us find a safe place on such short notice.
