The experience was very bad. We were forced to leave early because of the bad hygiene. The apartment is very rundown and there are cockroaches and even mice. First there was a bad smell in the bedroom. We opened the windows, even cleaned the floor, but it didn’t go away. Then we found big and small cockroaches in the kitchen and living room. Finally we saw excrement of mice and it is now obvious that the terrible smell is urine.
We couldn’t use the kitchen because of the roaches and the dirt in the cupboards. Now we have to clean our stuff and bags. It is truly disgusting. Gaston explained that he has 4 apartments in the building and there never were problems. This is hard to imagine given the general run down state and dirt of the place. Even without the vermin infestation the stay would have been unpleasant and not worth the money, although the location and the balcony are “a plus.”
Thankfully Airbnb was of great help and we quickly received a refund.
