During my 7 week stay, there was issue with the heating not working for 2-3 days every week, and when I let owner know about the issue, answer was always blant and rude. Not recommended-Unless you are happy to have no heating in winter and shower in cold water.

“Awful”

I am puzzled by the many positive reviews.  As a Booking.com Genius level 3 customer, I have stayed in a number of accommodations in different countries, however, this experience has to be the worst. Several days before check-in, I contacted the host to find out if it would be ok to arrive between 9am-10am. He agreed.  On arrival at around 9:45, however, there was no-one around, and neither was there a doorbell. I texted the host to let him know I was standing outside the front door and asked to be let in. After 15 minutes and no response, I phoned him. He explained that the room was not ready and asked whether I could go somewhere and come back in around 30 minutes by which time it would be. As I had a lot of luggage with me, that was not possible. This meant I was left waiting for around 30 minutes outside the property on a busy road for him to turn up. When he arrived around half an hour later, he seemed in no hurry and did not apologise for the inconvenience caused…. Several of the males I encountered in the building (mostly males) looked sketchy. At the end of my first week, I was propositioned for sex by one male with alcohol on his breath. Being the only female in the building at that time, the host allocated a room on a separate floor, apart from the males. At the end of the second week, I was joined by another female. Shortly after she departed, I noticed that a food item was missing from the communal fridge so I texted the host to notify him of the theft. He responded sarcastically and added with a could-not-care-less attitude that he was not responsible for the contents of the fridge – what BS… A few days into my stay, at 3.20 in the early hours of the morning, the host texted me to have me go down several  flights of stairs to open the main entrance door to a new male renter, who apparently was having trouble getting in. When I didn't respond, he texted again, and this time with an angry tone, demanding to know where I was at!
