Objectively, I had a very poor experience with Joao. The airbnb was filthy when we arrived: McDonald’s bags, half eaten fast food, cigarette butts everywhere, beer bottles, dark stains on the bedsheets. I slept on the couch on the first night because of the state of the bed. After reaching out to the host, they were slow to respond and weren’t able to clean it until midday the second day. I didn’t receive an apology from the host. The “cleaning” wasn’t good, so I decided to end our airbnb stay (which was supposed to be 3 nights) on our second day. We had to book a hotel in the city to finish our trip.
The cherry on top: the host tried to lie to Airbnb and tell them that we didn’t leave early when we said we did. This was a very easily provable lie.
