Two words! BED BUGS! We booked the apartment for 31 days. When we arrived, the cleanliness of the apartment was fine. The apartment was exactly as shown in the pictures. The location was very good as it was close to the beach, train station, grocery store and restaurants. It does front on a busy one way street which is noisy most of the day and night. Garbage truck comes at 1:00am most nights. There was some mold on the shower curtain in the main bathroom and in the master ensuite shower, but nothing terrible. Bed sheets and towels were clean. We noticed a musty smell in the master bedroom but could not track it down. Seemed to come from the headboard or box spring. About 10-12 days into the stay, my wife got bites on her ankle. I didn't have any. She thought they were caused by sand fleas as we had been at the beach. Few days later she had 2 more, and thought they must have been there before and not noticed or she was just paranoid . I then got a cold and my wife slept in the other bedroom so she wouldn't get it. Her bites started to clear up and she didn't have any more. I still didn't have any bites so we were convinced they were sand fleas. After about 6 days she came back to the bed. On the second last night my wife woke up around 1:30am feeling itchy. She had more bites on her feet, leg, arm and back this time. At that point she knew something was up, and when we checked, sure enough, we discovered a bedbug. This completely ruined the experience for us. When I sent pictures of the bites and explained the situation to the host, we heard nothing. Then after we contacted Airbnb, we got a nasty response from the host who basically called me a liar and that we were trying to scam them because we requested a partial refund. We are NOT liars nor scammers and we are not bringing the luggage full of clothes into our home!
