While the apartment is a great gateway to Galway, we were appalled by the state of the place.
Upon arrival, we found empty alcohol bottles behind the couches and in the bedroom cupboards. The washing machine was full of damp linen that we had to wash again, dry and pack away. The cupboards in the upstairs and downstairs bedrooms were broken and just thrown on top. The family room shower head is broken and shoddily glued together. There are no drying clothes for the dishes, a bin to sort recycling, or any hooks to hang your towels.
The black mold in the bedrooms is a serious health and safety risk. My 12-year-old nephew is asthmatic and has had several attacks during our stay. We are very easygoing and love the Airbnb experience so it pains me to have to leave a bad review. But black mold is not something that pops up overnight and is a dangerous oversight. I have taken photos of all of the above to share with Malcolm so that he can improve the experience for future guests.
