WORST HOSTING EXPERIENCE- we stayed at the apartment during the Christmas period- first, without warning a washing machine technician came on the 23rd (for around 2 hrs) and on the 24th (for around 4 hours) of December- this would have been OK in a sizable apartment but this one is tiny and the technician also left us so much dirt and rubbish to clean after on Christmas Eve.
Myself and my partner both work online so we were surprised to see a message from the host at 9:30 am to vacate the apartment at 12:00 the same day out of the blue. We had accepted his offer to stay for a higher price on the 31st but Airbnb doesn't take payments automatically for extensions and we had 24-hours to put our card details through. All of a sudden the host has a booking for one-night on the 31st and let's us know on the day. We beg and plead for us to stay past 3pm so we can finish work at least but he is reluctant and gets rude and shirty with us. we had to cancel work, find a place with a few hours notice on NYE and pack and vacate the premise in around 1 hour. We have just moved to Lisboa so we had a lot of luggage with us. Very disappointing experience overall.
