This is not a place in which what is advertised is what you will find. The wifi didn’t work. The kitchenware and barbecue were unimaginably dirty. The bedding was grotesquely stained. The shower had grime. The outdoor gas heater was out of order. As it was my birthday and I too am an Airbnb host, I took it in stride and didn’t complain.
The worst part was after listing their property as suitable for events and parties, and after I informed them of my intention to host guests well in advance of my stay (to which they obliged and wished me a great time), they violated their contract as well as the consumer protection act by aggressively demanding the vacation of the property. This, only taking place on the second evening of my stay, which was barely different form the first, during which the owner was present.
The attitude, language and demeanor of the hosts was completely unprofessional, condescending and a firm trigger for people of colour. All this despite my compliance with everyone one of their request from before the day I checked in. Moreover, my guests ensured the house was clean before they left.
I had informed them of my intention for some of my guests to spend the night so as to not drive drunk. The hosts acted negligently and with blatant disregard for human life when they insisted on my guests leaving in their vehicles.
Upon vacation of the property, I was ensured a written apology for the disrespect and inconvenience with which this transpired. I am yet to receive any such communication from the hosts. In stead, shockingly, I was sent a message asking me to leave a positive review as they were truly delighted to host me and that they hoped I would return.
The view is beautiful but no view is worth such treatment.
