I travel a lot, and this is the worst apartment I’ve ever stayed at.
Everything was covered in dust. The apartment was filthy and looked like it hasn’t been cleaned in years. The shower was so disgusting that I couldn’t use it. The furniture was stained. It smelled like something was rotting and it wouldn’t go away even with all the windows open. It was getting worse with every minute and I couldn’t sleep because of it.
I had to cancel my booking and leave that dreadful apartment the next morning.
The host didn’t apologize when I reported the issues but offered to send a cleaner. I refused. I didn’t want to waste my time, especially on New Year’s Eve. I expected the apartment to be clean upon arrival, considering that I’ve paid the cleaning fee. It would’ve taken hours to clean it properly, and the bathroom looked like it would need more than just a good clean.
Losing money (I got a partial refund) seemed like a better option than staying in that vile place.
