I was looking forward to staying at Angel's place as it was located in a great location and at a reasonable price. I had reached out to him about checking-in at 3:30 pm which we had both agreed on.
I ran a bit early the day of check-in and reached out earlier to see if 3:00 pm would be reasonable time to meet up to collect they keys. I had booked this stay for 30 days. However, I did not hear back from him until 3:00 pm. It was then when he informed me that he would not be back from his trip until 6:00 pm as his train was running late. During check-in at 6:00 pm, he mentioned he had found out (the night before) that his train was going to be delayed. This meant he had ample amount of time to notify me of his changes but did not do so. As a result, I was stuck waiting for him until 6:00pm when he was able to arrive.
I received the keys and went over his rules but found that the bed did not have any linens and he immediately rushed to put them on the bed and apologized for it. The linens were very old and pilled from years of use. I placed my items on the desk and set up my computer.
An hour later, I found a bed bug crawling on the wall of the room I was supposed to be staying in. I looked it up online to double check and surely enough, it was a bed bug. I contacted AirBnB as a result and had to cancel the stay I was looking forward to. In my 6+ years of being a guest, this has been the one experience that has left a bad taste in my mouth, I am fortunate enough that I did not set my things on the bed and even luckier that I did not sleep there. I do not, for any reason, recommend this place. I had read positive reviews and was hopeful of my time but unfortunately, it was not a positive experience at all. When I collected my belongings and walked past the kitchen entrance through the hallway that leads to the outside of the apartment, Angel was sitting on the floor of the kitchen just staring at the wall.
This was my experience. I am sure others have had positive experiences but again, do not recommend this.
