*Stay in a hotel instead.
We payed over €1000 for just four nights stay and I can honestly say I wish I booked a hotel instead.
The team responsible for the apartment were very nice to deal with but our over all experience was poor.
We were supposed to have a “self check in”, “smart access” to the apartment, and a separate pull out sofa bed. None of this was available for multiple different reasons when I asked but it did mean total inconvenience for us. Solutions were offered but we’re not suitable.
The location was great but again don’t expect to sleep well. We had dogs barking all day in the apartment next to us, builders working all day under our windows and the a serious amount of street noise and traffic.
I understand that many of the issues cannot be solved by the hosts but when your spending more with them than a hotel I’d expect better service.
I’m really starting to question the benefits of using Airbnb any more as the real perks of the service seem to be disappearing with every stay.
