We had rented this apartment for 5 nights, but moved out after only one night because of the extremely unclean conditions. We have many photos that I would have posted but unfortunately airBnB doesn’t allow us to post them.
We decided to rent this apartment because all of the beautiful photos on the listing and the prior positive reviews. On the plus side, the photos of the apartment do look very nice from afar, and the layout of the apartment is as depicted in the photos, and Mickael the host is responsive. But……..
The reason for this negative review is that the cleanliness of the apartment is in no way “luxe”. It was when we got into the apartment that the actual up-close conditions did not match the photos from afar.
The problems began upon checkin. Nobody was there to meet us, and we waited for an hour in the dark lobby of the building before a taxi pulled up and delivered us the key.
Upon finally entering the apartment, we noticed it felt very dirty. Although the host did send somebody to “clean” the apartment again, unfortunately even after this cleaning it still was unacceptably dirty. We documented this in numerous photos we sent to Mickael and airBnB. Here is the list:
Instances of non-clean conditions included bathroom floor and baseboard dirt, bathroom mold and crumbled wall, bathroom sink mold, bedroom dresser dirt, chipping paint, dirty bath accessories, filthy cubby area next to the bed, floor dirt and hair, kitchen counter stain, stained bed sheets, bathroom pipe that leaked, and stiff and flimsy towels. There was one area that was so dusty we wrote “clean me” in the dust, which was still there after the second cleaning. Air conditioner is broken (does not work under 23 degrees). We have pictures of each of these and would have posted them here if airBnB allowed us to (they only allow to post pictures if we gave a positive review).
So overall, we were extremely disappointed in the apartment, where the cleanliness of the apartment simply did not match the pictures in the listing.
