BEWARE...SEWAGE odor/fumes throughout the apartment and building (lobby, hallways). We breathed this unhealthy air in for 8 days of our entire stay. Host did nothing, the contact person (no name provided) communicated via WhatsApp only and he stated that it was sewage. Blamed it on the building. Dishonest description of apartment. Lots of wear and tear without any repair. Had the description said, "You will smell sewage", I would haven't stayed here for free. After dealing with Airbnb, which Airbnb contacted the host, they both decided to refund my family an insulting $137.09 out of $2035.63. Cleaning fee and 30% of first night.
Picked up the key at an ice cream shop, no information folder provided. We bought items that the apartment was lacking and left them there: dishwasher detergent, toilet paper, olive oil and laundry detergent.
There is no retort that the host can give to my review. So again beware if the host tries to give me an unfavorable rating. Upon arrival, on our long awaited vacation, my family cleaned areas of the apartment that we thought could be producing the smell. We reached out to the contact person within the first hour and that is when he stated "sewage". Blaming the building for the sewage smell is ridiculous. We have stayed in many old buildings throughout Europe and never had a sewage smell. The ONUS is on the host and they did nothing to help/rectify this during our stay. It's a serious health hazard.
