Initially the apartment looked fine, and Antonella was very kind, brought wine and groceries, and helped me settle in. There were some problems with the shower not having hot water for about a week, but this was solved.
However, what wasn't fine, was the experience of finding big amounts of mold in the bathroom, kitchen and in the bedroom. It wasn't necessarily easy to spot at first, since it was in areas that weren't easily available. The host couldn't understand when I tried to tell her that I wouldn't accept living in these conditions, as that amount of mold surely would be a health hazard. I was only staying for a month and had already dealt with not having hot water.
I had huge troubles with Airbnb and getting a new place. Even though the problem was real, I got the feeling that the host thought I was causing unnecessary problems for the them. This was a rather stressful experience for someone young who's travelling alone in a new country. I think the host should have known that there were so much mold before renting it out to someone
If it weren't for the mold and the poor handling of the situation, I think the place would have been a fine stay. I didn't want this to happen or to create problems for anyone. I think both Airbnb and the host could have handled it better than they did
