While cheap compared to other Airbnb listings, this apartment is not in an inhabitable condition by our standards, and definitely not worth the price. The listing mentions that the unit is "older style", but the photos themselves are outdated. The apartment is in dire need of renovation with windows, doors and bathroom in unacceptable condition. Additionally, it clearly has a problem with humidity, resulting in a foul smell. The apartment is located on the ground floor facing a busy intersection of an already heavily trafficked road. The noise, especially in the morning, is too loud to sleep through, even with ear plugs. And passing trucks caused the whole apartment to shake. Despite what the listing says, this unit is not appropriate for families with children. The apartment was not clean when we arrived to check in. The floors were generally dusty, especially the bathroom floor which also had hair and had clearly not been cleaned since the last guests left. The bathtub had brown stains and was about as far from "spa fun" as you can get. The two fans provided were covered with greasy dust from months or even years of use without cleaning. The kitchen sink was dirty, and four out of the six regular drinking glasses in the kitchen cupboards were dirty with with dried orange juice. Upon arriving to the apartment at 11pm, we notified the host that the apartment was not clean and that we were not comfortable, requesting a solution. She immediately called us up and encouraged us to cancel the booking and find accommodation elsewhere, but also decided to visit the apartment the next day. The host stressed in a rather hostile tone that if we weren't happy with the apartment she would prefer us to cancel our booking, which made us feel rather uncomfortable. Without knowing much about how Airbnb cancellations work, we got the impression that the host was trying to make sure that we wouldn't give a negative review of her listing. The host told us that she fairly often had guests cancel upon seeing the apartment. During this conversation, the host asked us to send photos of the dirty parts of the apartment via MMS. We realized afterwards that this was probably a tactic to improve her chances to win a potential dispute. We suggested to upload photos to the web and send her links to them via Airbnb's messages, but she insisted that it "wouldn't work". Around lunch the next day, we decided to call the host since we hadn't received any news. We were reluctant to cancel the booking and find other accommodation, since there was little availability, and we were busy preparing for our overseas move. The host repeated that she would prefer us to cancel the booking. However, she also made it clear that if she didn't agree with our description of the apartment's cleanliness, she would instead cancel the booking, effectively throwing us out. This made us realize that we needed to find alternative...
