Unfortunately we missed the trend in recent reviews pointing to the cockroach infestation we found here. A few red flags were:
1. the place was clearly not cleaned before we moved in- there was dust, grime and dead roaches on the floor and behind the bed.
2. There were a lot of roach traps and the place smelled of insecticide / was musty.
We had a bad time and could not find a place at short notice over new year’s eve. Over 3 nights there we found about 7-8 dead and alive roaches. We couldn’t sleep well at night as the place would smell of insecticide we had to spray to get rid of them in the small space.
On a positive note the host did send someone to do a sweep and mop on the first day after we complained as well as offered us a 5% rebate after. However, close to $430/night at this place (including a cleaning fee!) is clearly not worth it- our friends had much cleaner places for cheaper in similar locations. The host shouldn’t rent this out without first dealing with the infestation
