This place was not what I expected. For the price paid I would not recommend this airbnb.
Pros:
-nicely decorated
-large comfortable bed
-kitchen was clean and had basic items that may be needed
- location was good with lots of local bars and restaurants
-check in was simple and helpful
Cons:
-cleanliness: the shower floor had hair and was clearly not cleaned properly from thr last guest. Mentioned this to the host and he just said there is dust due to the refurbishment of the building, not acknowledging the dirty shower. There was also dust as he mentioned, I wiped a thick layer off the artificial plant used to decorate the apartment.
- Smell: during our stay there was a terrible sewage smell throughout the building and in the bathrooms. Mentioned this to thr host and they said they were getting someoneto come and clean the drains. The smell improved but wasn't fully gone. The host also did not bother to check back with us about this
- broken shower fixture: also mentioned this to the host after our first night there. He said he was already aware and had ordered a new part. The new part did not arrive during our 4 night stay. Also if they knew about this problem before, why wasn't it mentioned to us during check in? Again, no follow up from the host.
- room location: this room in particular was located right across from the front door of the building. The door is quite loud and people come in and out very early and late. This is bothersome if you are a light sleeper.
Overall, this was not a great experience. I have used airbnb throughout Europe and truly felt let down by this experience. The terrible smell and poor cleanliness was not what I expected. Furthermore the host's lack of follow up and informingus of issues he already knew about was very disappointing. I think they run so many locations that there was not individual attention given to guests and their concerns.
