We were instructed to remove our footwear in the garage before we entered the apartment. The stairs were filthy and the apartment floor was cold.
When we arrived the humidity was 75 and there was a dehumidifier in the middle of the living room which we had to empty several times. The stairwell smelled musty.
The kitchen looked beautiful and there was a big sign on the stove that we couldn’t use it. The only way to heat food was a very small microwave. There wasn’t a knife to cut bread. There were no condiments. The refrigerator was totally empty.
The furniture was what you might expect in a student’s apartment. No comfortable chairs in the living room. The bed was very firm, low, no headboard, no extra pillows.
We were not allowed to have any visitors. We found this very difficult as we lived in the area for many years and had hoped to have friends in for coffee. We were accused of plugging in an electric vehicle - which we don’t have and which they don’t have a connector to accommodate. This accusation was made through the Airbnb communications. We never did meet our hostess.
