Unfortunately, this was probably the worst experience I’ve had through Airbnb. What I ended up booking was the room in the photos, minus about 50% of the furnishings shown in the pictures. The carpets weren’t cleaned very well and I kept finding hairs in my bed and on the floor, as well as one or two lizards which got into my things.
The worst part, however, was communicating with the host. After one night I decided this would not be a comfortable place to stay, made alternative arrangements, and attempted to cancel my reservation by ending it early. The host decided to continuously deny these requests, blame the issues with the reservation on me, declare that I had been lying about the whole thing, and go against their own cancelation policy as listed on Airbnb. The whole experience was immensely frustrating, a little bit absurd, and quite expensive.
I don’t think this is a comfortable place to stay, and I wouldn’t recommend that anyone take the risk of putting themselves in the same position that I found myself in. It’s not worth the potentially Kafka-esque experience.
