Within 30 seconds of opening the door to our apartment, two cockroaches appeared and scurried up the wall -- during broad daylight. While we are city-dwellers and understand that cockroaches do exist in large cities -- there are exterminators that take care of this issue and they should not be present in an Airbnb unit -- this is completely unhygienic. Upon discovering the roaches and deciding we could not stay there for 4 nights in those conditions, we found the owner and explained what we had seen. He readily acknowledged that the unit has a cockroach problem and pointed to a tube of "Combat" roach killer on his desk. He seemed understanding and agreed to issue a refund; HOWEVER, he did not do so and only gave us a portion of our stay per the cancellation policy (less than $200 for a more than $600 stay). Therefore, I do not recommend renting here.
