We thought very long and hard before leaving this review because we are AirBnB hosts ourselves and know how disparaging a negative review can be. We can not recommend this apartment. It is in a convenient location and the friend of Charles that helped us check in was nice and that was about all we could say that was positive.
The apartment is in DESPERATE need of a deep cleaning. There was hair on the floors, in the bathroom and even in the bed. There is dust and dirt. The tile grout in the shower and kitchen had mold and mildew. The rug in the main room had not been cleaned or vacuumed. The towels and hand towels wreaked of mildew. There was no trash can in the apartment aside from a tiny one in the bathroom. There were no paper towels in the kitchen. The bath mat had not been washed. Filthy. The place is a little run down and in need of a lot of TLC.
We take FULL responsibility in mixing up our arrival dates and arriving a day late. So essentially we paid for a night we did not stay. While we were in route, the house cleaner and not Charles, waited to let us in and eventually left. We awoke to some RUDE messages from the hosts, chastising is for wasting his time and inconveniencing his. Although we apologized profusely, he continued to send snarky and rude messages. This continued through the trip. Although he did allow us to leave a short time after our checkout time, even that request was met with snark. We are hosts and understand that mistakes occur and we believe that Charles was very rude in his response.
