BED BUGS- The apartment is in a perfect location, has been done really nicely and has everything you would want for a long weekend in Lisbon.
Unfortunately, this included bed bugs.
There were brown dotted stains on the bed that kept appearing and we both received bite marks over our bodies in triangular formations. (Later found out this is a classic telltale sign of bed bugs).
We notified the host of this when we left as we previously had not realised what they were and only found out after doing more research as the bites got itchier and itchier.
The host was very defensive and told us she has been scammed before and this wasn’t her first time. She basically told us we were lying and wouldn’t give us any compensation despite sending her pictures of the sheets along with the bites all over our bodies.
I can assure you we weren’t lying as after 2 weeks and a course of antibiotics prescribed by a doctor for a secondary complication of Impetigo, it has been confirmed they were indeed bedbugs.
