The stay at Lisbonne was riddled with difficulty. Upon arriving I told the host we’d be there late to which she told us to arrive any time we wanted only to surprise us with a late check in policy that we weren’t aware about until we were at the house.
“Others just know. It’s a Airbnb Policy” this was after making me wait in the cold and arriving 5 minutes to 11pm at which time I had waited over 40 minutes for her to finish her dinner plans.
Once the host showed the room she demanded payment “you pay now, 40 euros. Now” this was obviously very shocking as I never expected this kind of behaviour from the host. It was also now past 11 after waiting for her and I didn’t have a car.
I asked her if I could etransfer or give it to the other host in the morning who she said lived on the property. She said “now. Right now I handle the money” then drove me to an atm.
A point to be noted: When the host opened the door there was a large cockroach sitting on the table and
smaller bugs through the interior of the property. The host’s explanation was “well it is a garden.”
The entirety of the stay was uncomfortable as more than once cockroaches were see . The fear of them crawling into clothes or the bed made it a very uncomfortable stay.
The apartment was not cleaned, there was dust on the floors, stains and marks on the curtains and the hole near the AC unit was where the cockroaches crawled through which I noticed on a number of occasions.
Overall, Very disappointed with the stay here and very disappointed with the behaviour of our receiving host. As an avid traveller It was truly unacceptable.
