First off - this place is being run by a management/cleaning company on behalf of the owner (listed as the co-host). We checked in on a Sunday afternoon. That evening I reported the shower water not draining properly. Got almost immediate feedback that a plumber will come out. This never happened
TV didn't work from the get-go, but the agency did inform me of this in advance. They said it would be collected on Monday. I think it was eventually collected the next Friday or Saturday.
The next morning the apartment was filled with sunlight and I saw that there was dust and hair all over the floor. I swept up almost a full dustpan worth of dirt by just sweeping around and underneath the bed. Reported this and asked that they send a cleaner with a vacuum. The cleaner came without a vacuum and her manager told her that if a vacuum was to be used, the owner (Gal) had to buy one that would then become part of the apartment inventory. To me, this means that they never vacuum the floor, bed, or couch. I had to help the lady pull the bed and glass table away. The amount of dust and hair that was swept up was incredible.
The second night there we noticed blood on the inside of the bedding. I think this is where I absolutely lost it. They came to change linen the next morning. There is literally no excuse for this - ever. If I could afford it, I would have checked out and left the very moment we saw this.
The floor lamp was broken upon arrival. The bedding smelt faintly like smoke. The laundry stand had a broken line. Some of the blinds are damaged. The blinds close the stove is filthy from steam. The carpet has stains on it and still has a lot of dust in it.
All of this is an extreme pity. The security of the building is really good, the communication with the management agency was always fast (but not always efficient). The apartment has good space and is nicely appointed. The location is really great - so is the price. However, even if budget accommodation is offered, this should NEVER be a reason for cleanliness to be neglected.
