I sent this to the host - I hope it helps others avoid the bad experience I had booking this location.
“I regret to inform you that I must cancel my reservation for tonight and am very dissatisfied with your listing. There are number of things:
- not having a key to give me to open the apartment so I was locked out a few times (had to climb through the window last night)
- you’re “kitten” is a full grown cat that attacks my feet while I have to walk around your apartment with out shoes because you don’t allow shoes.
- SMELLS horrible. I don’t know what it is but something smells so bad in your apartment. The first night I was so tired from my flight I crashed out but last night it was so bad I had to open the window all the way (which you slammed closed in middle of the night waking me and forcing me to reopen to breathe)
I feel it is my moral obligation to copy and past this as a review to warn others as I wish I had been warned. I would NEVER book a place knowing this.”
