In all honesty, this Airbnb was a disappointment given a culmination of reasons. The bathrooms and kitchen are so dated. The dust and musty smells in the rooms were unacceptable - there was dust in the furniture and rugs (we would start sneezing just drawing the curtains), clearly visible cobwebs, the smell of sewage from the bathrooms with multiple air fresheners attempting to cover up the odor, and cockroaches that we found in the bedroom at night.
We even had an uncomfortable incident of Nick walking in to the apartment after we checked in invading our privacy. While he mentioned he would drop off the rest of the towels as he was still getting them cleaned (not really a valid reason given he had 5hrs to get the room ready), it doesn’t allow for him to walk in to the house without giving us a chance to open the door, and even after could have handed them to us at the door instead of walking right in and to the washroom.
Separate to our stay experience, post our check-out he claimed we broke a ‘priceless’ ashtray and asked for 100euros. When I confirmed that we did not break anything, that we are non-smokers, and his place is non-smoking - he clarified that it is located in the balcony and we had kids in our group who must have broken it! Being the cold month of February, none of us and definitely not the infant/kid were in the balcony. We have used airbnbs for years, and have never had a complaint or claim. If we broke something, we would own up to it. We left Nick’s place in great condition including loading and running the dishwasher as a regular part of our thorough check out routine.
