After my travel partner and I arrived at Russell's place. we had to wait 10 minutes at the front door waiting for him to send us instructions on how to get in. It was disappointing to find our room dusty, smelly, filthy with a sofa covered with animal fur, and a bed with human hair in the sheets. The sheets were unwashed, with many oily spots, black marks, and hair stacked in the sheets and pillow covers. We couldn't believe how nasty the room was, especially when the world is still recovering from a pandemia and cleaning standards are essential. His place clearly didn't follow Airbnb's 5-step cleaning process, which I checked in the Airbnb app before booking that place. In addition to all the mentioned, his room was not the same as advertised in the airbnb pics. While we were looking for solutions to stay safe and comfortable, Russell and I were exchanging phone texts. He was apologetic at first, offering a candle, stiffer and clean sheets, but then he got defensive and cancelled our booking. We had to leave his room late at night and under the rain to find another safer and sanitized place to stay. We finally found another Airbnb place in better conditions. I have been around the world with Airbnb and never had an issue like this before.
