Cute apartment, ideally located…however the unit itself was filthy/disgusting. We were also forced to deal with our hosts eviction from the unit as she was apparently renting the unit through Airbnb illegally. We were served with eviction papers from a governmnet worker/bailiff while staying at the unit.
The mattress was horribly stained (blood stains (?), other stains) and disgusting in general. We flipped it in order to avoid being close to the filth and body fluids. The comforter inside the duvet and the pillows inside the bleached stained pillow cases were also filthy, see pictures. Thank goodness we brought our own pillows/sheets.
The refrigerator was also very dirty, with suppositories left in the food tray. We had to thoroughly clean the entire refrigerator prior to placing any food items in it.
The cupboards, dishes and silverware not clean at all. We had to wash all prior to using along with laying down foil in the cupboard shelves to avoid further contamination.
Upon arrival there was a miscommunication about us bringing a third guest (our son). We felt that this was understood in a previous email exchange, the host did not. The host called a meeting our first morning there and confronted us about our trustworthiness. She held ‘court’ with us for about 30 minutes. We were shocked and frankly insulted by this. Because we were staying a month and had a pet we decided it better to ‘make nice’ and move on so as to not have to find another location which would have been very inconvenient for us.
And finally, being caught in the middle of our hosts legal battle between her and the owner of the unit was intolerable. Our host was asking us to triple lock the doors when we left so the owner could not enter. We notified Airbnb of the situation and they were of no help. Very dissapointed in Airbnb.
