Perhaps it was the time of year or the week of rain, but the smell of the sewer was overwhelming. It was so strong, it permeated into every room. The fix to run the bidet didn’t take the smell away and then the bidet started to leak. When we arrived, all the windows were open. Presumably this was to mask the smell, which it mostly did. However, we couldn’t leave the windows open the whole time because of the mosquitos. There were numerous mosquitos in the apartment and during the night I was bit all over. I found bug spray in the bathroom but I didn’t want to be covered in chemicals every night just to fall asleep. We ended up leaving early after three nights because it was such an issue.
The towels and the linens are in really poor condition. The top of the toilet doesn’t have a tank cover. The shower is cool but it’s seen cleaner days.
The location of the apartment is great. The host was kind and his guide to the city was really thoughtful.
I think low maintenance travelers would be fine here…maybe people who aren’t sensitive to mosquitoes could have left the windows open and dealt with the smell, but I don’t think blood-sucking bugs and sewage odors are acceptable features of an Airbnb, especially one listed as an Airbnb plus.
Hopefully this review will help the host resolve these issues and future guests can enjoy the apartment.
