I’ve stayed at a lot of Airbnb’s all over the U.K. and the world, as this was by far the worst I’ve stayed in.
When you enter the property you’re met with a strong smell of musk, damp and uncleanliness - I also live in a 200 year old tenement building and mine doesn’t smell like that! All the furniture is very old and scruffy, it reminded me of being in a student flat! The entire flat needs a freshen up. The cushions on the sofa stank.
I had to message the host asking whether the property had even been cleaned...the bed linen was covered in LOADS of hairs, with stains on the pillows. The floor was also really dirty. I felt really uncomfortable staying here due to the level of uncleanliness.
The bathroom taps didn’t work properly and neither did the toilet flush. It was impossible to have a shower as the water was either boiling hot or freezing. The bathroom is extremely worn. There was no hair dryer in the property, despite it being listed.
All the cooking equipment was very old and worn. It’s upsetting to see the host describe this place as a “home” - I think to call somewhere home you have to care about it at least a little bit!
I left my coat on the living room armchair for my stay and after putting I back on discovered bugs all over it.
I had to message the host to remind her to respond to the issues of cleanliness. The only positives of this property is the location.
Do not stay here!
