A nice apartment in in a good location. Also, the worst Airbnb experience I have had.
We arrived at the check-in time (we had reconfirmed the day before our arrival) and found no one to let us in. When we worked that out over the phone, we entered a filthy apartment that had not been cleaned from the previous visitors.
After further communication and an hour wait cleaning people arrived. An hour and a half after that we were finally able to move into the space. We discovered that there were no kitchen knives, a broken toilet and couch, no lightbulbs in the bedside lamps, and only luke-warm water. By the next morning the water was completely cold and the stove did not work (they had run out of gas).
Julio (whom we did not meet) did send someone over with kitchen knives and some coffee cups and a bottle of wine. While we appreciated the gesture we never received the gas so no hot water or stove! What was required was an appropriate fix as well as the courtesy of an appropriate apology. We were totally put off by the experience.
Airbnb quickly arranged for a full refund, however, which though it does not change our overall experience of staying at Julio’s place, we appreciate.
