It's unfortunate that I have to write this, but it has to be said in public. Paul has ruined our Airbnb experience and we won't be using this service again. I can already tell he'll try to shoot down my review, but for anyone reading, please hear me out.
Upon arrival, we found a stuffy and cramped space that had obviously been oversold in the pictures. It amazed me on arrival that for a listing that had "enhanced cleaning" mentioned on the page, we found a dusty and poorly cleaned kitchen and a bedroom and bathroom with mold growths.
After my first shower there, I had to run to grab my inhaler and use it for the first time in months because of how bad the growth was on the ceiling. It was also disgusting to find out later that more mold on the floor was covered up by a carefully placed floor mat outside the shower.
We contacted Paul to try and resolve this, his response was to take us for fools and say that we had found mildew and not mold, because us Americans wouldn't know the difference apparently. While he did want to send his cleaner over, we couldn't sit and stay there and wait. We had a country and family to visit, Pauls attitude also degraded any potential faith we had in him to correctly resolve this issue. We left the apartment early and sent Paul a message of our intentions, all we got back was an automated message. Thankfully, we found a much nicer and cleaner apartment not too far away.
It's sad to say that Paul went even further to insultingly claim that we were simply using him to fake an Irish travel locator form, one of their Covid travel restrictions, faking one could have landed us with a big fine. It's insane to think that a "superhost" could accuse a user of such things and get away with it.
Simply put, please, do not stay here.
