Overall a bad experience, would not recommend. After booking the apartment I was asked to go on a private Internet Site and upload pictures of my ID. I refused to do so and asked airbnb for help. The host agreed to wave this requirement. One day before travelling I received a message that I have to make a 200 pounds deposit in order to get the check-in details, again over a private site. At that point, I would have lost my money if I would have refused to do so. Found this very uncomfortable. Airbnb helped me send the money through their site. The aparment had a very bad smell, the mattresses were very old, extremely soft and uncomfortable. There was no mirror in the bathroom. The fridge had a 30cm layer of ice inside, the water boiler had not been cleaned in ages and was full of calcifications. I was told I would receive a refund within 3/4 days after checking out. This did not happen, so I had to contact the host and only after this they initiated the refund.
