This is a difficult review to write as this apartment has had many good reviews. First, I would like to say that I own two properties which are on Air BnB and I have been in the accommodation industry for over 20 years, so I think I know what is expected in Air BnBs at various price points. Communications with Olivier was good and as he was on holidays, we were given a key code to help ourselves into the apartment. We arrived and the communal staircase did not leave a good impression - dirty and smelly with lots of furniture on landings. Oh well, individual owners presumably aren't responsible for the communal stairs. We opened the door to the apartment and there was a strange chemical smell. We could not pinpoint what it was, but it was unpleasant. It lessened slightly when the windows were opened, but came back with a vengeance when the windows were closed. The floors were unvacuumed and the floors had clearly not been washed. The outside balcony/terrace had not been cleaned in a long time. But our main issue was the smell, as I started coughing straight away and our friends soon after. Previous guests may have caused the issue and I hope that the smell was a one-off, but we could not stay. Air BnB was very good in handling the issue, but Ignacio visited after we left (even though he previously said he was on holidays) and said he could "certify" there was no smell and that the cleaning was "correct". He also said we broke the sofa - one of my friends sat on it and a bottom part fell off and we could not put it back on again. We have stayed at many Air Bnbs and this was the first time we had to leave one and not stay. Ignacio questioned my motives, which is odd. This was the last day of an 8-day holiday staying at Air BnBs. We had no motive other than to enjoy our last night on holiday and it was ruined by having to find somewhere else to stay. No one wants to be looking frantically for accommodation at 4pm on a Saturday in a foreign city, having to move, etc, etc, so the "motivation" comment was somewhat weird. I wish Ignacio the best, but the apartment's smell and our physical reactions meant we could not stay.
