Terrible experience with both host & apartment!
The host was not contactable by Airbnb & us (through messages & direct calls) when lock-box could not be opened for an hour during check-in as it got dark & windy (as everyone sat on the curb waiting) & only replied nearly 15 hours later!
The apartment was filthy & in disrepair! Unsanitary conditions included:
1. Dirty &/or rusty range-oven, toaster, refrigerator, dish rack & water kettle
2. Dirty (& rodent dropping?) utensils & mugs cabinets
3. Dirty & damaged / scratched cooking pan & fryer
4. Dead insects-filled ceiling lamp
5. Stained blinds & bath towel
6. Dusty washer & fan
Disrepair & neglected conditions included:
1. Water damaged cabinet
2. Bathroom door cannot lock
3. Cracked & dirty ceiling & wall
4. Sliding door difficult to open & close
5. Missing bathroom mirror on dirty medicine cabinet, replaced with unsecured mirror on sink area
We will not stay here again, nor any of the host's listings, even for free!
