MAGGOTS!!! The apartment had a problem with an infestation of MAGGOTS.
We notified the owner early in the morning that there were about 50 or so MAGGOTS in the main living area. We notified him around 8.15am and no response until 11 when he seemed to suggest it was because of leaving food out ( it wasn’t, the MAGGOTS were nowhere near the kitchen, but near a window in the living room).
He eventually came around at 3pm with an exterminator and it appeared to clear up the problem, which seemed to work, however we did find another MAGGOT 2 days later, but he never responded to us after this.
In addition some of the lights didn’t work (e.g. in the master bedroom) , the apartment was not well stocked, most plates and drinking vessels were plastic, which is not what you would expect.
There was no dustpan and brush, which would have been helpful in disposing of the MAGGOTS, I think the property could do with a deep clean
Also a distinct lack of towels, no corkscrew, scissors, washing up liquid, toilet paper, etc that most good Airbnb’s have.
On the positive side, it is a great location, near the beaches and restaurants.
