This is kind of a random place to ask, but fuck it.

Staying in La Plata Argentina to learn Spanish. Found a good deal on an AirBNB with solid reviews. The woman who owns it has been a PITA the entire time. I showed up and there were some dirty dishes. She told me that was impossible bc her relatives cleaned. Showed her pictures and she was still in denial lol.

Last night I got no sleep because I was itching. Found little black and brown spots on sheets, according to google it is probably bed bug casings or w/e. I just know the owner of the place is going to deny it and be annoying. AirBNB is notorious for bad customer service, so idk if I would get any refund. Especially since I'm a week in and the stay is until mid January.

I am low on funds... What do y'all think. Should I try and fight the bed bugs? And if you've ever dealt with bed bugs, give me the rundown... I don't have a drier but I was gonna wash everything and dry it outside, then spray RAID...

Or should I use my credit card 😬 on another place I can't afford... I don't get paid until January, so I don't want to do that. But I don't wanna see these bugs spread like the plague and end up in my shit.

They’re not always in a line, they’re often in a line. I’ve had plenty of single bites and some clusters. They tend to be in lines where your body contacts the bed.
