DISHONEST, CARELESS, RUDE AND IRRESPONSIBLE HOST. In all the years I have been using Airbnb, I have never had cause to complain, which I did this time - directly to Airbnb who assisted me. 1. The property was FALSELY ADVERTISED in several ways. The first was about the Free onsite parking - something that I learnt upon arrival didn’t exist. I had a brand new convertible car (with a soft top that could easily be sliced open by vandals) which was full of expensive ski equipment, and although I was very concerned and had reason to be annoyed, I simply politely asked where I could park instead, and was given false information which caused my car to be towed away and cost me 151 Euros and the best part of the following day to retrieve it. When I told the host this, the host continued to insist that it was okay to park there (even on the footpath) and made excuses about why it had been towed away, which were all wrong. It was apparently highly illegal to park anywhere on that stretch. Not once did the host apologise, but only said that my parking issues were not her concern. 2. IT WAS NOT QUIET as advertised. Screaming traffic, people shouting (and fighting) in the street at all times of night, neighbours in the building slamming doors etc, made for poor sleep. With graffiti all around the building, I wouldn’t use the description “privileged” either. 3. THE PLATES AND CUPS WERE COVERED IN DUST, as was the rest of the apartment. 4. THERE WERE A MULTITUDE OF BUGS, both alive and dead in the place. 5. THE BED WAS NOT MADE. 6. THE WASHING MACHINE DID NOT WORK AND WAS FILTHY, and it was necessary to climb over rubbish to get to it. I’d checked all power and leads etc. It simply didn't work. 7. THE HOT WATER WENT OFF during my shower every time. 8. Items such as a hairdryer etc, that were supposed to be there, were not. 9. After changing the checkin time at the last minute, the host failed to tell me that all of the streets were closed off to get into this part of town. When I arrived and found this out, I sent a message to say I’d be late as I needed to park and walk which I did from a parking station 10 minutes away. I arrived apologising profusely, reiterating that the roads had been closed. The host, knowing this, said it was because of an annual event. If she knew this already, why couldn’t she have told me this in advance? Instead, she chose to be annoyed that I'd arrived late! 10. Asked to be paid cash in hand and then later lied about it (foolishly, as I had evidence). There's more, but if you've read this far, then you probably feel you've read enough.
