We were very much looking forward to staying at Casey’s two storey condo for a weekend getaway. We had planned this trip in advance and the description, pictures, and reviews seemed good and very detailed.
An hour upon arrival Casey messaged us through the Airbnb app with information about the property, how to enter the property, and then mentioned and I quote “ You are welcome to use any of the condiments and spices, but please do not touch any of the alcohol or groceries”. As a sign off to the message Casey wrote and I quote” This is our home - not a simple rental property, so please treat our place with care.”
This automatically led me to believe this was not the typical Airbnb and there would be his belongings in the property.
Not only did he have his belongings on the property, the utensils were dirty, there was a dirty tablecloth hanging on the stove, cannabis in the freezer, sexual objects in the master bedroom cabinet, clothes food, alcohol, etc. stored. There was absolutely no room for us to put anything anywhere. It was as if we were not at a rental property he just gave us the keys to his house for 2 nights for over 1400$.
I would of appreciated more honesty about this detail as I wouldn’t have booked this Airbnb.
Furthermore, I had a concert the night of and only managed to find another hotel within my budget at 7:45-8:00 and the concert already started.
