Just to give other potential guests a heads up, Áine’s apartment is lived in. Like, very lived in. I know that happens sometimes - I used to rent out my own apartment before sometimes on Airbnb for extra cash, and I’ve stayed in apartments that were lived in before - but in this case absolutely zero effort had been to clear away or hide the owner’s personal items before we arrived which made for a very uncomfortable and unsettling stay. The bathroom was full of make up, toiletries, a used razor, a hairbrush (with hair attached) and used toothbrushes. The fridge has the remains of yesterday’s dinner in it, there were dishes on the draining board that had clearly just been used before we arrived. It was all very weird and unnerving. If a host wants to rent out their home without making any attempt to clean away their lives before guests arrive then they need to make it VERY clear in their description of the property exactly what guests will be walking into. Id also suggest that they reflect that reality in their pricing which certainly wasn’t the case in this instance. Between cleaning and service fees we ended up paying over €260 for a one-night stay which is madness given the state of the place.
