Paid for 40 nights but left after 5 days.
Checked in without the host and were welcomed with a terrible rotten smell coming from the kitchen.
I had the displeasure to spend the day literally washing the fridge and kitchen sink so we could stay there.
After being suspicious of the cleaning standards I went to the laundry room to check where the bed and bath linens were washed. A very dirty room in the basement of the building with a shared washing machine gave me the instant feeling that I made a terrible mistake booking this place.
I texted the host pointing and sending pictures of everything and she replied me saying that “People didn’t treat the place nicely” basically stating that’s the reason the apartment was like that.
After a very long day, I tried to shower, of course, but again just to put the last nail in the coffin, the water didn’t flow through the shower drain, and the foam flooded the bathroom floor.
I don’t even want the money back however, I reported everything to AirCover anyway and they said it was a “minor inconvenience”, so please be advised when booking this place.
In the end, I received a message from the host saying that we left the apartment (after 3 hours not having any response of her, with the keys inside, OF COURSE, because this is how you check out in every Airbnb in Europe) and she had to call a locksmith to open the apartment. In my opinion this was such a nonsense because WHO on earth would believe an Airbnb host has ONLY one copy of the keys? She might have forgotten to delete the phrase on the HOUSE RULES sent saying “Each guest will receive AT LEAST one copy of the keys”.
I have everything filmed and documented just in case..
