We booked the place for one week stay. On our second day at the apartment, we found mice excrements in the kitchen top and cup board under the sink. Mice did actually eat our bread and there were bites on other bags . We sent the pictures to the host, who was responsive but explained nothing much could be done on a Sunday. We requested for an alternate location, and he offered for us to move to the apartment below the next day. However, it was smaller and could not accommodate our group. Then the host agreed to reimburse us (only the remaining nights) and half of the cleaning fees. Luckily, we could move out and find another Airbnb place on short notice, it was a stressful situation though.
About the place, we booked it because it had plenty of good reviews, most of them accurate regarding the location and the responsiveness of the host. We found that it looked definitely better on pictures than in real life.
In regard to the presence of mice, we realised afterwards that there were 3 mouse traps in the apartment (one in the living room and two behind the washing machine and dryer), therefore it was perhaps a known problem. We have been using airbnb for more than 10 years, and this is the first time this has happened to us.
