Despite being told we would receive check-in information in advance of our arrival, and sending a request via email the day before our arrival, we did not receive any check-in details. We arrived to a locked front door and began reaching out to the hosts, but wound up standing in the busy street for 40 mins with all of our bags waiting for instructions.
Once we finally received the details from the host and entered, we quickly noticed that the restroom smelled of a litter box / cat urine. We let the host know and to their credit they sent someone to clean, but the next day the smell returned.
There were no paper towels, no laundry detergent, and the hand soap was just watered-down shampoo they took from the cheap bottle in the shower.
The keys we were provided opened the door to the apartment but NOT the front door. So, we were required to type in the 9-digit entry code every time we entered. I requested a key that worked, as others in the building had working front door keys, but we never received one.
For the cost of this booking, we all agreed that the host overcharged us by far, and that they failed to meet even our basic expectations based on the details of the listing. The photos on the listing did not accurately reflect the condition of the unit.
Basically this host fails to do even the bare minimum, and clearly wants to cut corners and spend as little as possible on essentials like soap, paper towels and other basics that benefit guests. Instead, they charge exorbitant amounts for subpar properties knowing that by the time guests realize it, it’s too late.
