Where to start...
The first message you receive when you book is a demand asking how many guests and what your intentions are for your trip. Not your typical friendly airbnb intro. (It was my brother and I attending our grandmothers funeral... not some party buss etc)
Because the address and access info was buried in the “rules” they sent and we were traveling I sent an email explaining I couldn’t find the address and asked them to forward. Instead of just sending the address “Matt” sends me a screen shot of the instructions circling where it says to find them.
Okay, seems fine. I’m sure it’s just they’re busy... right?
So we arrive and the parking is $30 which is $10-15 more than anywhere nearby and the building is straight up gross. We get to the unit and I swear to god, someone had just nailed the most massive bong bowl of weed In the bathroom. Literally we couldn’t help but laugh because it was so ridiculous.
The entire apartment is gross, hairs stuck to the inside of the shower, no sheets on the bed etc. It was gross, the kitchen was acceptable and the floors were clean but with the intro we had I would have killed for a bedsheet.
At 8am the next morning I got a “friendlyish” text asking us to let them know when we planned on leaving. Since we were up early for the funeral we texted back at 8:20 to let them know we had left and they could have access anytime to come tidy up. No responses, but that’s fine.
20 minutes later I realized I had forgotten a coat in the unit and wrote them to say it would be amazing if they could let me know if they find it.
No response. The coat is my fault because I forgot it but it was just kind of the perfect final clarification that they couldn’t give one shit.
Also, couple other classics: no hot water!! Literal cold showers and also there are pimp/drug dealer dudes outside the front door after 9pm on weekends.
