I stayed in many airbnbs until now, but this was by far the worst experience i ever had. We are currently staying in Venice for several months and are airbnb hopping from month to month. we booked this place hoping it would be just as a good experience as the other ones (as it wouldn't be a cheap one), but the minute we opened the door, we new that wouldn't be the case. There was an intense permanent smell in the whole building, but especially in the apartment. We could immediately see that this place wasn't as it was portrayed in the pictures. The furniture was mostly worn-out and probably needed to be replaced a long time ago (dirty sofa, stained white tables, very rusty bathroom furniture, old carpets etc.). The apartment seemed to be in need of renovation (the wall or wallpaper was crumbling, the sink and shower tray looked worn out etc.) and was not properly cleaned. The floor was very dusty and dirty, the ventilation part on the bottom of the refrigerator was full of dust and mold. It was just not ok. Obviously airbnb seemed to be with us on that. After we contacted airbnb and sent them pictures of everything they supported us and initiated a cancellation with a full refund. Which was a big relief because we spent a lot of money and we would not stayed there for a month. I just wanna add that i never wrote a bad review before and wasn't sure if i even should review this one. But in my opinion, this place is a scam and the hosts should really rethink what they are doing. Big thank you to airbnb though, for helping us!
