This was my worst Airbnb experience ever and I’m a frequent world traveller.
My major complaints:
- They make you go to their office to pick up the key and drop off the key, which makes check ins/outs NOT smooth especially if you have suitcases and luggages with you.
- Worst value for your dollar. For a month and a half, it cost over $5k for a studio suite surrounded by homelessness outside, crackheads and dirty streets.
- Even though the cost was ridiculously high, they still had the audacity to charge me an extra $636 for their cheap IKEA furniture breaking and for additional carpet cleaning (even though I always took off my shoes at the front door and never tracked any dirt onto the carpet). The carpet cleaning should be part of all the other fees they charge through Airbnb. An additional $636 on top of the $5,280 is absolutely absurd.
They are absolute money grabbers, and I would never ever book through them ever again.
