Disappointing stay - we arrived at the apartment late on Friday afternoon to an incredibly strong bleach smell but the apartment was dirty. Hair and used toiletries in the bathroom, bugs and webs on most wall corners and ceiling, dirty BBQ, rubbish from previous stays, crumbs on the couch and dirt on surfaces. We had all the windows open yet the smell of the bleach made it difficult to breathe or relax, even upstairs in the lounge area after two hours.
Airbnb cancelled the booking in the evening after we saw a lot of mould in the lounge and the bathroom, so we had to find last-minute accommodation late Friday evening. Thankfully a local host allowed a really late check in to his lovely home just around the corner. After this experience, I won’t book an Airbnb listing by a real estate agent again.
