My wife and I rented this studio flat for 3 nights and it was one of our worse Airbnb experiences among more than 50 bookings.
The studio was very dirty. There was a cobweb under the ceiling, dust in the corners, the stove was stained and greasy, the dishes were poorly washed, the bedside tables looked as if they had never been wiped. The windowsill in the bathroom was covered in dust and someone's hair. Towels hung on a chair and there was a used package of pills on them so at first we did not even understand if they were clean or not. There were no hand and face towels, kitchen towels or paper towels. Also there here was no dishwashing liquid and instead of it was only a liquid soap. The dishwashing sponge was so old and dirty that we had to throw it away and buy a new one. The pan was badly scratched and we couldn’t even cooked fried eggs for breakfast as we usually did at home and on holidays. The fridge barely worked and all furniture were old and shabby. All bulbs were very dim.
There were no even basic cooking set like oil and spices, no tea or coffee. I don’t believe that none of the previous tenants never bought and left even simple teabags pack or small olive oil bottle.
Ajit didn’t met us in person, he left keys for some guy who met us. This guy didn’t show us the studio and said nothing about the neighborhood, he only opened the door and gave keys to us.
To be fair I’d like to say that there were not only negative aspects but some positive too. WiFi connection was good, hot water was really hot and the pressure was good, Ajit left two bottles of still water for us. There was washing machine in the studio (we didn’t use it). Neighborhood was nice and quite.
I understand that we rented this studio on a very good price for London but cheap price shouldn’t be an excuse for such a low cleanliness standard.
