Very disappointed.
We were not greeted by the host, but rather a friend who did not want to be there and was not knowledgeable about the property.
The entrance to the apartment was to go up in an outside elevator shaft that was large enough for one person and luggage. Outside the elevator were garbage bags that were broken open and smelly.
After entering the apartment we were asked for money for taxes , then not given a receipt.
My wife then went to the gloomy living space and saw the stained couch. So she went to the bed and turned back the sheets.
The whole bed was stained. The edging was full of dust and mold. Possibly bed bug staining or infestation. There is not a mattress pad on the bed.
She took photos.
I called Lydia and told her about the accommodations. She said “ who looks at the mattress”
After much discussion she agreed to give us a refund She asked us to call the next day.
We left the premises and found another place to stay that evening.
After that Lydia never responded to any of our correspondence.
We have not received a refund from her. Nor will she answer any of our messages.
We do not recommend staying here.
