This is the kind of place you need to come to with enough time to deep clean and even that can’t make it a great stay.
The bedroom sheets were very old full of piling so very uncomfortable, so old that the elastic on the fitted sheet didn’t work anymore so we would wake up to being on the bare mattress. Also the sheets had pen stains and what seemed like a blood stain.
This place is described as having air conditioning, A LIE. It has air conditioner in ONE room, the other two rooms have a fan which is not good enough for how hot the place gets in the summer. The kitchen doesn’t even have a fan, so don’t try to have your lunch there, you’ll melt.
The kitchen required us to clean before use. The glasses, plates and cutlery were dirty and the rack where you were supposed to let them air dry was rusted and gross. The rags to clean the kitchen counter were stained and dirty so you’d have to buy brand new ones.
The bathroom! I didn’t feel comfortable sitting on the toilet because the bidet type thing they had in it was rusted and disgusting. Why put a bidet inside a toilet where urine is constantly falling in? The sink was leaking the whole time we were there so a big part of our vacation was mopping the bathroom floor. The shower head was rusted, so the water would fall everywhere except your head.
Checking in wasn’t a great experience either. We arrived an hour before expected but the host had previously told us to send a text as we were leaving the airport so her friend would know we were on our way. Sent text , called the friend, called the host several times, NO REPLY, none. I understand we were early but you could at least acknowledge a phone call from the people renting your place to tell them to wait or whatever. As we’re arriving I receive a text finally, from the friend telling me she’s heading toward us. 30 minutes after waiting outside the door, midday, in the summer heat with my two babies, she arrives, telling us we were 30 min early. She could have told us by text that we were early, to wait in a cafe , SOMETHING, something more reasonable than not replying texts or phone calls.
The place is very well located, that’s the only positive part about it.
If you want to stay in a clean place, which is the least you should expect from an AIRBNB , this is not for you. We found ourselves cleaning on our vacation far more than we expected.
I’m still scratching my place as to why this AIRBNB is classified as a super host and if the reviews were bought somehow.
