Let me start out by stating that this was a trip composed of my wife, my father in-law and myself. This booking was supposed to be for 17 nights This place was supposed to be great as It’s located on a great spot, close to everything, restaurants, ferries, buses- everything is in walking distance. The place also offers parking if you need it or if you want to have company over.
Now comes the negative, upon our entering the property, we were given the choice between two apartments. Both were in poor shape. For instance, the shower ceiling in the worse shape apartment had a shower ceiling which appeared to be falling apart. As a result, we immediately opted for the other apartment. Upon entering our chosen apartment a HUGE red flag should’ve been the dead insects we found throughout the floor and kitchen area. In addition, we also found, markings all over the walls, a dirty coffee table, trash inside one of the kitchen cabinets, dirty and stained kitchen and restroom cabinets, a dirty and stained stove top, hair filled restroom sink, no trash bin, and dirty floor. Given that we had just arrived from an international flight, we didn’t have much choice and opted to stay the night. As such, we asked them to change the bed sheets which they immediately did. They also provided us with a trash bin. We also had to emphasize to them that there was no remote to operate the air conditioning unit. They found it after about a 20 minute wait. Once we woke up the next day and assessed our situation, we opted to exceed our travel budget and book a hotel in the area. We contacted the host via Airbnb and were immediately granted a refund for 16 out of the 17 nights. I was quite surprised that there was no disagreement from the host, yet was disappointed that I was still being charged for my one night stay.
I would probably consider this to be my worst Airbnb travel experience.
