I have been a customer of airbnb accommodations around the world for many many years. I have never had any problem with any location where I have stayed until this flat in Barcelona. The place is gorgeous and in a very touristy centre.
If the cleanliness in an airbnb location is important to you than DO NOT book this apartment. Especially right now with the whole Coronavirus scare.
I immediately noticed sticky spots near the bed like someone had spilled something. Also there were dirty spots all around the toilette. I went to the super market to pick up milk and snacks and bought paper towel and rubber gloves to clean up the spots. I should have contacted the host because when I got back to put the food away I found half-eaten food in the fridge. I cleaned up and dumped the half-eaten food and cleaning cloths and gloves in the outside garbage.
The next morning when I took a shower, the drain backed up and I was left standing in inches of dirty soapy water.
When I contacted the host first thing in the morning she said she would check and get back to me. I hoped the drain could be fixed that day. The host contacted me in the evening to tell me her cleaners had 5 places to clean that day and that's what happened. She was sorry. Not my problem.
The next day I wrote asking for compensation, a night's cost plus the return of the cleaning fee.
The host has not answered my request.
