A scam and unsafe to quickly describe. They are pulling the switch and bait here. They list several units on Airbnb and then tell their guest the day of or the day before check in that some “emergency” happened, a leak in this instance and that they would not be able to accommodate that unit but they have several other units to pick from. They do not direct you to any of the many available units they have on Airbnb, they send you an outside link to some other units that look decent in pictures but it is far from that. I believe they are posting really nice Airbnb and then switching them out possibly because they don’t exist. I found it odd that neither of the options they gave us to replace our accommodations were listed and available on Airbnb. As far as that goes we did not get the Airbnb we booked.
As soon as we got to the rental, we were greeted with a very pungent smell from the bathroom. Right above the entrance door was mold. The bathroom smelled like mold. (Safety issue #1). Two different beds were not clean. One bedsheet had yellow pee stain and the other one had hair. The floor was was uneven and underneath the flooring it felt like there was holes. There was clearly concrete separating between the kitchen floor and the living room area, structural integrity compromised (Safety issue #2). The couches were both dirty, to the point we chose not to sit on it. One of the bedrooms, the lights did not work or stopped working. We found a burn mark above one of the lights that would definitely be a fire hazard (Safety Issue #3). There were many broken appliances as well as exposed wires coming from the walls (Safety Issue #4).
