DISGUSTING SMELL !
This apartment smells so badly of cigarette + cigars. The smell is in the sofa, linen, mattress, towels.
If you are a smoker then you might not even notice. If you aren’t you may find this revolting.
I spoke to the owner about this and she accused me of perhaps making this all up as she said maybe I was in fact the smoker !
I am an asthmatic, never smoked in my life. I couldn’t believe it. I find it hard to believe a place could smell this bad unless there was a heavy smoker living there and smoking in the bed full time.
Airbnb did refund me £200 which I’m grateful for.
The smell issue is definitely something Maria can fix, so check in with her to see if the furniture / linen has been properly dry cleaned or replaced.
ELECTRICITY problems.
Power went out twice during our stay. The owner sent someone to fix it quickly, but accused us of being the ‘cause’ and threatened to take this to Airbnb lawyers if it happens again !
All we ever did was charge our laptops, make tea, or cook - which is what the power is meant for.
So anyways, even if you can get over the smell, which is so revolting I could barely sleep…
If you have any issues during your stay, Maria may be a bit hostile to you as she was towards us.
