WORST AIRBNB STAY EVER. I have been using Airbnb for many years and I have never encountered a worse experience with a host before and I strongly recommend not staying here.
First of all, when we arrived the toilet seat lid was broken. It had a massive crack and was loose from the rest of the toilet. We did not think much of it until another guest ended up cutting themselves from the toilet. This was a negligent on Mary's part for not informing us nor fixing it before she arrived. But we chose not to make a scene about it. However, after our stay Mary charged us $200 for broken toilet lid. This is obviously a scam as she is trying to make us pay for something she knew was already broken and charging $200 for a toilet lid which typically costs $30 is absolutely absurd. Do not fall victim to this as I did as I did not think to take photos. However without evidence Airbnb will prioritise the hosts over the guests so protect yourself from being scammed like me.
If that wasn't bad enough, she claims there are two beds in this apartment but the second bed is not a bed at all. Its merely a metal mattress stand that is rock hard and doesnt even have a mattress on it - only blankets and pillows. It stands about 30cms off the ground and is placed in the middle of the living room. This barely classifies as a bed and I pray for your back if you do attempt to sleep on it. It also takes up half of the living room which is already small.
Finally, I booked this stay weeks in advance and a couple of days before my stay Mary messages me and tells me that she has another guest wanting to stay there and asks me to move to a different Airbnb of hers. I feel it is completely rude and disrespectful to ask someone so close to their stay to go to an entirely new location because she wants another guest to stay there. I was worried that my stay would get cancelled days before my arrival and it was a lot of back and forth before she decided to let my stay go ahead.
Overall this experience was an absolute nightmare. Both before, during and after my stay. For your sake, do not stay here.
