We were not able to stay in this home due to the host sending a message that the group of people prior to us had been infected with COVID-19 and therefore they would be still staying in the home. We were offered a second home that was bigger and honored the same price of our original rental which was wonderful... until we actually got to the home. We stayed in this host’s second listing (Relaxing “OASIS” Huge house 22 pax Condesa 7BR.)
There were several window panes broken on the front windows where anyone could reach in and open the windows to get in the house. The living room curtains were stained with a brown liquid with a horrible smell. There was a throw pillow on the couch that was ripped. One of the couches had a leg that was bent and about to break. Several of the bedsheets had stains on them which we were told it was due to wear but that they were actually clean even though they didn’t smell clean. There were no top sheets or extra comforters even though there’s no heat and it for below 40s several nights. There was virtually no water pressure in the 2nd story bathrooms - the water was literally a trickle. The patio that was advertised did not look at all like in the photos, no chairs or tables, no hammock and certainly no plants or decor. The 3rd floor bedroom wasn’t used as the iron stairs leading up were so shaky we thought they may fall down and the railing wasn’t completed held in place in some areas. There were several stains on various walls where it looked like something sticky was spilled and it was never cleaned. The wooden flooring was gorgeous but had several nail heads sticking out which caused several ripped socks and a couple of cuts on people’s feet.
The worst was that there was mold on the ceiling of the 2nd bedroom bathroom and the whole upper space smelled of must and mold.
The only redeeming quality is that the host was reachable via WhatsApp and the location was perfect.
