The apartment is in a great location, and the hosts communication was quick. Check-in was easy. Upon arrival, everything looked good on the surface. However, as we settled in, we started to notice how neglected some things looked. The couch cushions and armchair have stains all over them, the cushions are sagging, the kitchen table was wobbling and unstable. One of the chairs was broken and stowed away in the closet. Another chair had screws falling out constantly. The dishwasher was out of order. When we went to sleep on the first night, we noticed one of the slats on the bed frame was broken and we were sinking into it. When I went to open one of the bedroom curtains, the entire rod ripped out of the wall and fell on me. Finally, when I went to do laundry, I was met with a horrendous smell when I opened the washer and noticed it was covered in mold and grime/sludge/hair that I had to try and scrub off myself. The hosts were apologetic. It just seems like they set this Airbnb up years ago and haven’t maintained or checked on the state of the apartment in years. The pictures were beautiful but in person it felt dingy and - to be honest, we were a bit grossed out by the end of our stay and skeptical of the cleanliness.
