The absolute worst experience I’ve ever had on AirBnB. It was so unpleasant that I left early and found other accomodations. Besides the stiff cot, mosquitos, spiders, and unyielding mildew smell in the room, I found Fabio to be disagreeable and unable to perform basic hosting duties. When I checked in, he criticized the cultural center I was working at and questioned my knowledge in a field that I have a degree in. Fabio made unwelcome comments on my age, the frequency of my clothing changes, and did not understand when I rejected his invitation to attend a 10pm event. When the mildew odor became so strong that I couldn’t breathe in the room, he did little to address the problem and asked me why I was so concerned. Most significantly, even though laundry is listed as an amenity, and Fabio just told me to leave my laundry in the bathroom for the cleaning lady, he did not communicate about the amount of laundry I could make each week (I made two loads weekly as I workout daily). Instead of letting me know to do one load in advance of the cleaning lady’s visit so she had less to do, he expressed that my laundry pile was a great inconvenience and reflection of my poor character, judgment and young age. Additionally, he was frustrated when I asked him where the soap was (he was astonished that I would use his soap), and when I offered to go out and buy soap to use for one load and leave it behind for future guests, he refused to tell me the soap brand he used. In these conversations, I couldn’t get an entire sentence out without being talked over and interrupted. There were too many interactions in which I found Fabio to be disagreeable for me stay further (I had resorted to eating a protein bar in my room for dinner), and I felt as though I was not respected as a young woman and professional. As Fabio is looking to socialize and rather than perform basic hosting duties (he doesn’t see AirBnB as a job although he gets paid to host), this listing is better suited on a cultural exchange homestay website rather than AirBnB.
