My stay at this apartment was fine. It was a decent enough place to come back to after sightseeing. The room was trendy but quite small and cluttered with stuff though so I would probably go for somewhere else next time. The location was very good and we were able to use the kitchen - however I did find cockroaches in one cupboard where the tea and coffee is kept which needs to be sorted out.
I have to mention that I got the impression that there is more than one person running this apartment. When I couldn’t open the lockbox to get the key I messaged on the app and then called the number when I didn’t get a response. Luckily Jackie said he was at home and let me in but I then got a message 15 minutes later on the app asking me if I got in which seemed like it came from someone other than the person who let me in.
I also noticed when looking through Airbnb options for this trip that there was another apartment very similar to this one which is run by ‘Jack’ who has the exact same bio as Jackie. I also might be mistaken but based on the host photos I think it was the Jack from the other apartment that let me in not the Jackie who is meant to be the host for this one.
If it is the case that two people are running these two apartments together and are there interchangeably then I don’t think it’s necessarily a problem. However I think it would be best to be upfront about it so as to avoid people getting confused or creeped out. I don’t mean to cause offence because the host that I met seemed nice and friendly and my stay in the apartment was fine - I just wanted to give this feedback.
