So, I booked this room inside a house in Montevideo for two weeks. First red flag: they took several hours to respond to any kind of message.
Once I arrived, I got the instructions through WhatsApp (second red flag).
That I will be staying in a different room because they are making some fixing with painting and cosmetic issues. I told them right away "If is dusty, I can't be there. I am extremely allergic".
I arrive, one of the guests received me and what I see is practically an abandoned house with people hiding in rooms.
All windows open and the dust and dirt coming from the street was everywhere. Once I found the temporary room, was terrible. Mold and dust. With an open window, no shades. I couldn't stay there.
I call Airbnb immediately and shared the pictures while I was there and waiting for my taxi to take me out asap.
The lady offered me a discount for something else. I told her no, I want my money back, I need to be out of here right now, before I got terribly sick.
4 days later, I have no signs of Airbnb or whatever and I am $250 short.
This will be my last time with these platform. I learned my lesson.
