I’m going to try to be brief. Overall this has been so far the worst experience I have had with Airbnb.
I will begin with the PROS: Location it’s great and very unique. Unit is small but corky, some will find this very cool. Some will not. Marie was very responsive with a quick turn around time on all communications.
CONS: Unit was overall filthy. We checked in and the unit was VERY dirty. We found hairs in the shower, bathroom, bed, bed sheets. Kitchen cabinets very dirty and sticky. Dust all over too. Towels were WET and bed blanket and sheets seemed smelly and VERY OLD. Mini fridge a bit dirty and a few buckets full of random stuff which were too dirty.
The main window faces 6 other balconies within a few feet away. In our case, the blinds were not working. We reported this and was ignored. There is no privacy at all and my wife sure felt unsafe having anyone picked over our window at any time. We reported all these issues and was only offered a refund for the cleaning fee of $23 dollars back after we had a $500+ reservation (3 days).
Airbnb described my issues as minor and was only given the options to either forfeit our money and get $14 due to the host’s cancelation policy or stay as is.
