I feel ready uncomfortable leaving a negative review for Bernard, because he was so kind, and a warm communicator. We were disappointed to find out the room we stayed in was fully occupied with someone's stuff, and there was barely any room for us to take things out of our suitcases and still be able to walk around. The room was very small, and the closets and shelves were all occupied. We ended up opening our suitcases and putting them on the desk and little table, and used the bed as a table instead. Not what we expected.
Perhaps more significant than that was the dog pee and poop throughout the apartment on the floor, which we stepped in occasionally at night. The kitchen frequently had dirty dishes piled up in the sink and overflowing garbage, and we did not feel comfortable cooking there. Our room also had garbage coming out from under the bed, which we've never seen before at an AirB&B.
Maybe we've been too lucky throughout the years and only stayed in very nice places, because this was our worst experience at an AirB&B so far.
On the bright side, we enjoyed the espresso maker, the warm communication, the easy access to apartment via security men always present and apartment door code, the safe neighborhood within walking distance to some nice restaurants and the venue we attended an event at. Bernard was kind enough to return my favorite coffee mug which we forgot behind. I just wish he could declutter and clean his apartment, to offer a more comfortable stay.
