I checked into the apartment; dropped off my bags then had to meet someone for lunch.
Came back from Lunch, sat on the bed. Something started itching (Lyon in the summer so probably mosquitoes); itching started to get more and more severe. Looked round and BED BUGS. Jumped up got in the shower, threw my clothes in the bin and packed my bags.
Spoke to the person who let me in (waited about 30 -45 mins) they showed up; and checked me out.
Then I had the fun experience of getting Airbnb customer service on the case which took 4 - 5 hours and 10 days for a refund.
I would've probably not written this; had I got a simple phone-call to ask if I was okay.
