The apartment is in a good location and it could be a decent place to stay.
Unfortunately, the problems we experienced were numerous.
We arrived and it smelled like moth balls or mold.
The pool was empty. and I was asked to make sure to turn the water off in the pool. That seemed like the priority of our entry— that and signing the forms.
Other things, like our comfort, didn’t seem to be a concern, or at least not checked. For example, the first night we didn’t have hot water. Why? Because they forgot to check to see if the water heater was on. It wasn’t.
Not great after international
travel.
There were no top sheets on the bed. I get it, that can work for an upscale hotel, but not Airbnb.
There was no hand or shower soap. No shampoo. It would seem especially important during a pandemic.
There was also only 2 capsules for coffee and no milk. There was ONE plate. The kitchen was poorly equipped.
The dining room furniture had a lot of stains.
Worst of all, both bedrooms show water damage in ceiling, probably from the pool. That’s fine but the master bedroom clearly had BLACK MOLD. I have pictures.
The apartment really should not have been rented. When I mentioned it, was asked if I wanted to get on a ladder to look more closely. Or to touch it. No thanks.
After a few days they offered another apartment, but by then, we had unpacked and our agenda was full. We didn’t want to waste a half day moving, so we left the window open in hopes it would be beneficial since we have asthma and allergies.
I was told we would get a reduced rate due to all the issues, but nothing was done. Very disappointing and one of the worst Airbnb experiences I’ve had although Sevilla is my favorite city in the world.
Bottom line? This should not be rented until that is remediated.
