Filthy - Deceptive - Unsafe.
We paid $443.06 for stayed in this apartment less than 10 minutes.
I left the message in Air BNB we would be there about 8pm to 9pm. When we came there at 7.55pm, he was not there. I called him 5 times, then txt him but he didn’t reply. We were waiting for him at about 10 degree outside in Sydney cold night.
The owner was extremely reluctant to give me the apartment number up to the moment he meet us in person about 8.40pm and led us to the disgusted room in the apartment he argued that the exact one in advertisement.
I and my Husband arrived in a dirty, carpeted messy, stinky cigarette strong smell and sick-able odorous apartment which was 100 percent opposite to the nice clean and organised condition as displayed in advertisement.
Not mentioned yet the bed was undone and as smelly as was just been used by somebody else. Room with no lock on door it means anyone can get in your room when you are outside. Bathroom filled with thick choking smell on cigarette same as outside.
My husband then must stand outside the door the whole time because of the smell was unbearable.
When I asked how come the scene is so differ to that on advertising, the owner insisted my husband has problem he doesn't recognized and stated right away that his policy is not refund. Rationally we left because there is no point talking at insensible reasoning from the owner’s argument, beside he told us to leave as he can’t do anything else to turn the room into nice condition as advertising.
I don't think this apartment has been registered with local council for accommodation, if there is a fire, in the event of accidents, who is going to take responsible?
Personally I think this place is set up like a convenience lure to trap people sign up booking, No normal human would be ok living in this condition.
Do yourself a favour and avoid this third world alike, junky mess, I regret using Air bnb...
