This listing should be removed from airbnb. Unfortunately I am unable to post photos on this review to show the state of the property.
I have made a list of all of the issues:
- The front security door would not close, the host had to lift it open to allow me to enter. The front door's glass was also smashed.
- There were boarded up doors and windows throughout the foyer area, which was severely run down.
- The glass of the foyer's back door was also smashed.
- The door opposite the apartment was boarded up. This made the building feel incredibly unsafe.
- There were piles of rubble and rubbish in the garden area.
- The apartment itself was filthy and there was the owner's used belongings all over the place.
- There were someone else's hairs in the bed, indicating to me that the sheets had not been washed.
- There was mould growing on the ceiling in the hallway.
- The kitchen cabinet looked like it was about to fall off the wall.
- The owners food was throughout the kitchen.
- The bath had tiles missing. The bathroom was also filthy, with bits of wall peeling away.
After seeing all of this, I left the apartment immediately and canceled the reservation. It is unbelievable that airbnb does not conduct safety or quality control checks on its properties. In my view, this would not pass any safety standards. I sent this property to airbnb who refunded me immediately.
