Had the musty smell of the apartment and stench in the bathroom been disclosed on the airbnb listing we would not have booked this room. It was not until a week before our arrival the bathroom issue was disclosed in the welcome literature. We had 7 nights booked. Upon meeting our lovely host Manousos (Nicole was abroad) we were shown to the apartment. The second I stepped inside I was hit with a very strong musty smell which I assumed was due to the room not being aired. Manousos then offered to showed us around the town and was really friendly and helpful. That evening we noticed a smell in the bathroom. By the next day a foul stench had worsened in the bathroom which was right next to the kitchen so we were put off preparing meals here. There was no mention of these smells in the airbnb listing, only in the welcome literature from a week before was it disclosed as occuring from time to time along with suggestions on how to deal with it. The air purifier provided, the fan going all day and night both in the bathroom and room, the open windows and air conditioner did nothing to improve the stench. The stench only got worse and coupled with the musty smell and the appearance of cockroaches, we decided to leave after the second night. Manousos was very apologetic and embarrassed and he suggested that he would ask Nicole to refund us for the remaining 5 nights and was lovely enough to offer to find us alternative accommodation. Nicole then contacted me via email, not through airbnb and said she would issue a refund for 5 nights if we did not post a review of our experience. A couple of days later this changed to a 4 night refund and only after the review period had passed. She also claimed that a plumber was brought in and could not smell anything, perhaps it does only occur from time to time but when it does it was so aweful it made me ill and we could not use the bathroom or kitchen. Our host Manousos was indeed lovely however unfortunately the smells in the apartment did not make for a pleasant stay and it tainted our Cretan experience.
