What a disaster. I was contacted outside of the air bnb platform to be made aware of “bad water” in the place I was renting out. Granted I’m sure these things happen. I was contacted through WhatsApp. Which I have not used in years and so did not know they sent a message while I was already flying to my destination, the day I was supposed to be checking in with them. In the message they offered to let me stay somewhere else. It seems this is a company that rents out unoccupied apartments in building after they do some light/ trendy decoration.
My wife is nursing our child and so needed to shower after a long day of traveling to feed our baby. Well, once we arrived to this air bnb the security guard handed us our key and said. Oh yeah. You can use NO water, it rained hard and so our system is now a bit off.
We were shocked we turned on the faucet and it smelled terrible. How are we to freshen up after traveling so many hours? How does she clean up to feed?
Long story short, no showers and because wife was unable to feed she got sick from her milk supply backing up.
She was in pain all night, unable to soothe her herself or our child.
