I only stayed for two days before leaving for another Airbnb because the place was not good at all. When my friends arrived and saw the place, they immediately said there was no way they were staying there, so we all decided to leave. The problem is that I paid for all the nights in advance, and when I requested a refund for the unused nights, I was told there would be no refund. This made my trip extremely difficult because my funds were already low, and refusing to refund me put me in a tough situation. We will never stay there again. The airco use to come on n lock off at 7 so if I wanted to sleep late it was hot. The wanted to stay with others we don't know n if we lost anything the was not responsible. The also had only one bathroom for so much people. The had a pool but it was dirty most time. The doors was always open. The had only one fridge. We could not flush the toilet paper in toilet so the papers was just in a corner that would make it smell very very bad I like to bath with hot water and the did not had that.
