Airbnbs are always a gamble. You might be served all the prettiest pictures in the world, but until you get there, you don’t know how noisily the nearby train line is going to rattle, how late into the night the neighbours are going to argue or how rancid the sardine factory downstairs is going to smell…
All exaggeration aside, usually it’s not that bad. Usually, the worst that happens is after seeing the perfectly angled photos, you arrive with expectations of a slightly more spacious room than you really get, or you have to walk a bit further than you thought.
