***I try really hard to refrain from leaving negative reviews, but I just couldn’t this time.***
We were very excited for our stay at this Airbnb. The pictures in the listing display a very well-kept apartment with charming character. Prior to booking, we noticed that the owner does not allow children. We have a 9 month old who sleeps through the night, so we reached out to see if an exception could be made. Much to our delight, the host approved our request. We were back to being excited for our stay! However, things quickly took a turn upon our arrival to check in…
First, while the host mentioned that there is a narrow walk path that you must navigate to get to the back of the property (where the Airbnb is located), please note - this is a VERY narrow walk path. Upon entering the apartment, we were immediately met with a foul odor, smelling as though someone had just relieved their bowels in the restroom… we were hoping for this smell to dissipate, but it remained throughout our stay. The apartment overall looked dirty including the toilet bowl needing to be scrubbed, dirty bathroom floor, food remnants in the sink, etc. The garbage disposal does not work, so water would get backed up in the sink and disgusting food particles would rise up into the sink and take a long time to eventually drain. The water pressure in the kitchen sink is non-existent…. Makes very difficult to clean dishes efficiently/effectively… the refrigerator needs cleaned out with shelves dirty… the bed is VERY uncomfortable with paper thin sheets, bed spread and pillows…. I could unfortunately go on and on, but you get the picture. I would have normally said something to the host directly, but as I detailed before, they made an exception for us to stay with a child, so I didn’t want to ruffle feathers… Did I mention that it STINKS CONSTANTLY? Like it was actually laughable how bad the odor was….
One positive - the back patio was lovely. Just wish we could’ve stayed out there the entire stay……
