Booking was easy with Gildas. Unhappily this was my first BAD experience with AirBnB....
Despite the arrival was mutually agreed since a full week, and we perfect on time at 5:45 pm, on arrival we were welcome by a shoeless couple (friends of Gildas) running out of the apt with garbage bags and Gildas still roughly cleaning the bathroom...this was the first welcome...
Gildas was nice and prepared a bottle of wine for us (but we did not open...). A rapid tour of the apartment showed the great potential of this apartment.... However:
A) Full ashtrays by the windows. The whole apartment smelled of cigarettes.
B) when wet the shower generate a so bad smell... Caused by encrustration of oranges mold very unhealthy... The shower has rarely be cleaned... And no ventilation, so mold and mushroom proliferate....
C) Hairs in bathroom...uncleaned/dirty floor...I asked if cleaning was done and he answered "yes it was on Friday". Unhappily we were on Sunday evening and clearly someone had live inside for all the week end... This appeared normal to Gildas...
D) Rumorous restaurant fan on the bedroom side. A burger restaurant, with frying hood up to midnight... This was not written in the description of the apt....
E) Although featured on the description of the flat, air-conditioning was not available. When asked, Gildas replied "air conditioning is somewhere in the wardrobe, we never used, you can try"....
F) the couch smelled cigarettes we needed to cover it with a linen...
In conclusion:
I paid 940€ for 7 night....Bordeaux has much better in term of apt to rent...
