Nice apartment, but awful host!
Prior to check in, I was told if anyone asked I should lie and say I was a friend of the landlords. This made it clear that the host is illegally subletting the apartment, with the trip being non refundable, I had no choice but to proceed with the stay.
I was given a check in time of 14.00, upon arriving to the apartment the cleaner was still present and she had a-lot of work to do! This caused disruption to my stay, so I left my things and headed out, 2 hours later she was still cleaning! I messaged the host to let them know, but received no apology or explanation.
I think the main issue is the unorganisation of the host. As a couple of hours after I had checked out, the host messaged me with images sent to him by the new guest who had arrived with complaints of uncleanliness (sheets not changed). It was evident that a cleaner had not attended, however, it seemed the host thought I was to blame and proceeded to send further complaints of untidiness.
Very unprofessional and made me feel very uncomfortable.
