You will not see “Julia`s” photo that you see in Airbnb when you try to contact the host via WhatsApp to the phone nu. provided in the host Airbnb page. the WhatsApp account of the host phone in Airbnb is of a person calling himself Mohamad and presenting himself as Julia`s Husband and his profile photo is of three men in a worship place.
After asking to contact “Julia” I received a WhatsApp message from another phone saying she is Julia and I can contact her as well. The WhatsApp profile photo this time is of a random letting and management services company.
Right at the entrance I was welcomed by three flooded dustbins full of smelly garbage. When a third person that “Julia” said is her colleague came to show me how to check-in and opened the first door, a strong smell of rotting hit my face!! Fastly, I paid attention to the rotted carpet that covered the entrance stairs.
To cover up the rotting smell inside the rented, unit some air freshener was used as if this could solve the severe problem. This only made it worse. The idea that I will stay is such a rotten place let me think that I may get lungs issue if I stay there for a whole 7 days.
In addition, and not less severe, shocking and disappointing was the filth!! one can easily see that it wasn’t cleaned in proper manner if in any manner at all, in months! the fridge, the electric stove, the carpet (hair, spots and other filth on it), and the bathroom to mention some! The rotten is also all over the fridge and bathroom. So its both filth and rotten.
After spending 5 min in the place, I knew I will not be able to stay not even for 1 night, and checked- out. I requested a refund for the payment I made but no response!.
I`ve documented this horrible experience by 6:52 min video and around 30 photos of the filth, and the severe maintenance.
A complete dissonance between the photos uploaded to this place (when I booked) and reality. (I paid attention they`ve changed the photos into more modest ones, but still the place is horrible as I`ve described.
