Despite Waheed being helpful and kind after our initial conversation, we felt unsafe. The listing is misleading.
This Airbnb was not what it is described in the listing. It was not clean, odorous and we felt uneasy. It is not appropriate to be on Airbnb.
We were informed it was no longer primarily for tourists but rather for short term rentals: 1-3 hour stays. We saw numerous young women and older men paying with cash to stay on this premise. It was not safe for 2 young women to stay in.
Our first room was dirty- the toilet was not cleaned and debris on the floor. After discussing with the women at the front desk (who was very helpful) the room was switched. We never realized the options had a pole in the centre of the room and a mirror on top of the bed. We chose another room. The rooms were odorous, unclean and stuffy. We inquired when the free continental breakfast was, as advertised on Airbnb, and we were told it doesn’t happen anymore. When we discussed this concern with the owner he became elevated and showed us the price he puts the place for on google and we received a deal through Airbnb. It was dark, in a dangerous city and we felt uncomfortable trying to organize a new hotel or cab to leave.
Please do not stay at this residence unless some serious changes are made. It had the potential to be a fine stopover from Caye caulker or San Pedro but it was not a good experience for us.
