To be clear, this review is about the host's subpar communication and questionable ethics rather than the listing itself because I never stayed there. On the morning that I was supposed to check in, they message me with "I have just been notified by guests that they are leaving the apartment [early] for a problem in the bathroom. We are trying to solve it, hoping the plumber arrives today."
While I appreciated the update, I did not hear from them as the check-in time approached, so I thought it would be best to go ahead and book another listing. I'm sure most people would agree with me that staying in a place with the chance for dysfunctional plumbing does not make for a pleasant vacation. The plumbing was reported to be fixed 3 hours past check-in; of course, by then I had booked another listing. Seeing as they refused to give a refund despite the fact that I never checked in or stayed there due to faulty plumbing, I'm left with no choice but to leave an honest, negative review.
