This was the worst experience I have ever had with Airbnb hands down, both the host and the apartment. When I moved in there was dog hair and dust all over the furniture and everything in the apartment so bad that I was coughing and sneezing (I don’t have allergies.) I had to wash the sheets and towels at least three times and dust the whole apartment to be able to breath clearly. The apartment is also filled with clutter and hard to move around, all of the appliances are old and it’s like visiting your grandma’s house rather than renting an Airbnb apartment.
The host, “Liv,” doesn’t really leave, she just goes right down the street to a cabin and stays there, she is an older lady who doesn’t work and she was constantly at the apartment; literally she was there every day, checking the mailbox and using the courtyard to just sit there with her dog which was super awkward. She also had packages delivered to the apartment a couple times a week and was always messaging and asking if her packages were there.
On the two occasions that I actually needed her help with something (very loud parties by the neighbors), she had a major attitude problem and told me I was only a “renter” and didn’t have any right to complain about noise.
I have used Airbnb for years without any problems, but I had such a bad experience with this host that when I left the apartment I took pictures of every room to show that I left things clean and in good order. Sure enough, I received a message from “Liv” saying that she was withholding my deposit as I had left the apartment unclean which was a complete lie. She must be desperate for money, but unless you are completely desperate don’t waste your money staying here.
