When we arrived at the apartment we were shocked at the level of cleanliness.
I informed the owner that we were very disappointed with the accommodation.
The apartment to say the least was not clean. There was a used frying pan left in the oven, a bag of re-cycle left under the sink and a pile of dishes including the kettle left in the dish rack. There also appeared to be what was a basket full of laundry.
We were unable to empty our suitcases as there were no empty drawers or shelves left for guests. All of the storage spaces were crammed full. We were only able to hang some of our clothes on the coat rail in the hall. The rest of our belongings, and we were there for six nights, we had to keep in our suitcases.
Now we come to the most important and disturbing point which we feel obliged to post.
Never at anytime has my wife and myself slept in a bed which can only be described as filthy. When we pulled back the the sheet which had been left on the bed we were appalled to see that there stains all over the mattress. We thought we better check the pillows and doing so found they too were badly stained.
This is not acceptable.
Had we not been fortunate to have family living nearby who brought us clean bed linen, pillows, pillow slips and towels, we would have had to find alternative accommodation.
It is quite apparent that the photographs posted on the AirBnB site have been cleverly taken to show the apartment in a good light and it is quite a surprise when you walk in through the front door. It is simply not what one expects.
One of the photographs posted even shows a television fitted to the wall.
We can confirm that there was no television as it had obviously been removed with only the holes in the wall left !!!!!
On a positive note, it is in a good location. The bathroom is well decorated ( apart from very worn and dirty floor mats - we just put a towel down on the floor ) with a good shower. Lights in the vanity unit need replacing.
To our dismay, whilst out walking we came across the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel located on Ralambshovsleden 50 and on speaking with them we found out to our dismay that we could have stayed there for our six nights for less than we paid for the apartment. We would have had a clean room, a clean bed, wifi, TV and all the other facilities of the hotel. The hotel stay would also have included breakfast for both of us.
We know what to do on our next visit.
This was not our first time to use AirBnB, having used it in Spain and also previously in Stockholm. Our other experiences were excellent and were recorded as such. My recommendation
