The pictures the host posted of the place are disingenuous. The furniture in the pics posted by the host doesnt match the furniture that is actually in the apartment.
Intead of a leather couch like in the pictures, there is an old dusty, stained, cloth couch that smells like it hasnt been cleaned in years. I didnt feel comfortable sitting on it without clothes covering my whole body and even with my clothes on it didnt feel good sitting on it. The blinds on the windows were once white but are so old that they have turned yellow-brown.
The bathroom was a mess and had long black hairs on the walls. The walls and ceiling in the bathroom had stains on them and were covered in mold and the shower walls were falling apart. I took pictures of everything and was going to complain but I was dealing with a family emergency and had nowhere else to stay so I had to accept the conditions of this dump. It wouldn't surprise me if this place wasn't cleaned to covid protocols.
There is no way of opening a window and because of that the place had a very strange smell. Kind of like it needs to be aired out from all the stale air. The bed was lumpy and uncomfortable and so were the pillows. Not sure how anyone could sleep comfortably on such an uneven surface. I only fell asleep because of exhaustion.
It's beyond me how the host doesnt feel shame for charging his guests for "cleaning fees" when this place is as dirty as it is. I tried to cancel my stay with two nights left when my family emergency was resolved and asked for a refund for the last two nights and the host said that he would only give me "half" of a refund "IF" he could find a replacement for me for the last two days.
Now ask yourself how cheap a host has to be to offer only half of a refund even after finding a replacement guest. If you found a replacement why do you feel the need to keep half of my refund?
Typical insensitive, slum lord behavior from the host in every way. If you stay in this airbnb make sure to wear a plastic suit.
