I can comfortably say this was the worst Airbnb experience I’ve had in the 6+ years of using the platform on both hosting and travelling modes.
Cons/realities:
* The host, Inmaculada, does not live in the house, but comes and goes as she pleases at unpleasant hours. She knocked very hard on another guest’s room at 11:30pm, who was visibly annoyed at this invasion of privacy and voiced this to her. Her son came at close to 1am to start packing some items from his room, which frightened me a little bit and was given no prior warning
* As a host myself, I know used bed sheets when I feel them. These had been used before, and even had small black hairs inside the duvet towards my feet
* The monthly cost of this room far exceeds five or six times the average room-lease price in off-season (winter) Sevilla
* There is a 4 EUR daily cost to use aircon/heating (additional) which you will absolutely need to pay, as it is a ground floor flat and therefore unbearably cold in November. I can’t comment on whether you would need to pay this in summer.
* Access to the kitchen is forbidden (I was given 'special treatment' and allowed to use the fridge)
* You're not allowed to leave anything in the bathroom, so it feels somewhat like a hostel in that respect
* No guests are allowed, even though the listing says it is a room for two people
Pros:
* The location is great — very close to the river and plenty of shops/pharmacies within walking distance
* The beds are firm and comfortable
* There is very little noise heard from the street outside as it is in a quiet residential area
* The hot water works, and you are not charged extra for it
Overall, I would never recommend this property or any other that the host manages to anyone. I felt totally uncomfortable and at the mercy of 20 unreasonable authoritarian rules that must be followed, or face the consequences.
I would strongly recommend another property, or even a hostel.
