I would like to share my experience with you. I heard that Airbnb will start doing inspections and I am very glad about this. My last experience at Palma was not very good for few reasons.
I don’t want to make it very long but I want it to know in what to are getting into if you are thinking in renting this apartment.
The only good thing I can say about this apartment that it was good located if you like to be downtown. The rest I will be honest you and not a word of a lie was a not good. I have pictures and recordings to document it.
The stairs ( she mentioned it that it was not lift) are a nightmare. Not for older people (this should be mentioned in the listing).
But what she forgot to mention was that the building right beside attached ( I mean less than 2 feet away) is under construction. The drilling still in my head. We had to leave from 7.30 am to 6.00 pm. The noise seems like they were in our bedroom , well all the apartment. It was really terrible. Extremely loud. Previous time in Palma, we were going to the beach, coming back around 3, taking a nap. Not this time. One day we arrived early and it was impossible even to talk because of the noise. I wrote to the host a private letter and the answer I received was not very good. A very poor apology saying that it was not noise. I have it recorded and was very bad. I would never spend a minute of my life writing this if it was not bad.
Kitchen says on the information ( fully equipped) not even a kettle hot heat water. One knife that barely cut.
And the most important for me the safety. No fire escape, only 2 fire extinguishers in the second floor ( that people will be fighting for them) . I don’t know the rules in Spain but this is unacceptable. An accident can happened specially when people smokes everywhere. There were no place to go in case of fire.
Also, ants everywhere, the host was so "kind" that left the spray ant killer.
(even in a private email she recognized that they have a problem.
I just want to share my experience, none is a word of a lie as I said I record everything.
I was so kind to send a private email, but instead of feeling bad about it she was really mean on her answer. Of course she will criticizes us, as she did on the private email, but I really don't care, I wanted people to know what there will get into. I know is not her fault of the construction, but she should be more professional and let everybody knows about this problem.
