I lost pretty much 500 dollars on this airbnb. There were roaches (one of which crawled up my girlfriend's leg), as well as mold under a tub (which shouldn't happen) and this was within the first 6 hours. Obviously after this we did not want to stay. And of course she did everything in her power to keep as much money as possible. Im sure that if she or anyone else for that matter were in the same situation they would want to leave as quickly as possible too. Escpecially halfway across the world, it just seems really shady. Do not reccomend. She admitted the building had roaches on other floors, but surprisingly this was the floor that didnt have roaches? She also wanted photographic evidence, but why if she knew roaches existed there. She had a roach trap as well, but why if there weren't any on that floor, doesn't make sense. Squeaky floorboards, heater didn't work. Extremely cold, walls were extremely thin and there was alot of noise in the area. Overall great location but terrible experience. In short i was treated like a wallet not a person.
Im sure if she herself were in the situation, she would not wait for bugs to be remedied. And would find somewhere else to stay.
