It had the potential to be a great stay. Unfortunately, the host didn't do the minimum checks - making sure it was properly clean, checking if everything was working, and checking if the key was in the right place for pick up - and so our stay was the opposite of relaxing.
The biggest negative was finding dirty underwear stashed in a corner of the apartment. The host said he cleaned the apartment himself and he must have missed it. We also found dirty dishes in the sink the next morning and the host said it was because of the broken fuse that he had to fix earlier (we couldn't charge our phones or use appliances for the first 2-3hours).When I told him it was his job to make sure these things were properly checked, he kept blaming the previous guest for causing all of these problem. I kept stressing that even though they did cause these issues, he should have at least given the listing a check to make sure everything was ok. He didn't seem to agree with that.
We had to stay the night because by the time I arrived it was too late to find other accommodation. When I asked for a partial refund, he said he would be open to a middle ground but then didn't offer a number when I kept asking what he though a fair middle ground would be. He wouldn't answer me after that. He then sent me $50 which was not the amount we agreed upon. I took it to Airbnb, showed them pictures of the underwear and other gross situations in the house and they re-compensated me $100 which was fair.
Really disappointed overall. Nice location, house was a little misleading in terms of design, cleanliness, and host let down the experience overall. Not worth such a high price tag and you will probably be better off going somewhere else.
