RENTER BE AWARE:
The house was damaged in many places from the beginning when entered I have pictures, proof and message history that even host himself claimed.
The unit had many issues including but not limited to
1.washing machine wasn’t working (during this pandemic crisis which is one of the most important thing in the house to be functional)
2.the heating system was completely off and couldn’t be turned on until a professional came to the unit
3.the host turned off his phone for entire 6-7 days and got completely unreadable even through Airbnb app until he was seen outside of complex.
4.The check in was delayed for ours by host because the unit was not ready
5.And even after that the apartment wasn’t even clean when check in got taken place
6.Wifi password was wrong and the guests couldn’t connect to it.
7.and most importantly the host is a complete fraud and lier and asked us to lie to the security and tell them that airbnb renters are the host guests and not the renter.
He continued his request by not mentioning that because he doesn’t even own the place.
He is actually a renter himself.
The neighbors in that building are our witnesses and if it wasn’t because of them and their help to my family I was still unaware what I would have done from worrying about my mother and sister that immigrated alone with no phone to reach me and let me know that they are safe.
I have used Airbnb services for many years and the most recent one was a few days ago in Miami also couple months ago in Turkey, Antalya which I never had issues with any of them in any country that I rented.
He went even further and requested us to pay a damage fee that not even caused by us, but also is a scam by a liar who caused nothing by emotional distress to me any my family.
The host has been extremely unprofessional and very rude, calling my sister problematic
while she doesn’t even know Turkish to talk to him. The neighbor of the unit was talking about the issues of the house to Gokhan (the host) and my sister never talked to him at all.
A person who does not own the place asks my family to lie for him to everyone in the apartment complex just so he doesn’t get caught renting a place he DOES NOT even have PERMISSION to rent; yet alone asking for damage that was already done.
Thank you.
