Unfortunately this is my first BAD experience thru airbnb ; and I'm not hard to please. I've never left or got a bad review so this is a first .
West L.A cottage is as described; cozy with character, good location and well priced.
The bad review is because there is a FLEA infestation and I ended up with multiple bites all over my body because of this. I was aware that a dog lived there when the owner is around, I don't have a issue with that since I'm not allergic to dogs but fleas is another thing .
The first night it was ok, I went directly to bed. Second day I got there in the evening and spent some time in the living space; then I started feeling itchy here and there and noticed some insect bites which I thought could be mosquitos. On the third evening a sat on the living room couch to watch TV ; it didn't even pass 10 min when I started to feel itchy all over my legs and waist. I got o the bathroom to check under the light and I had fleas jumping on my legs; I immediately took my clothes off and jump in the shower.
When I got out I changed clean clothes, I was curious if the fleas came from the rug or the couch so I went back to look around that area and same thing fleas all over my legs AGAIN. I ended up going to wall greens that same night to buy an insect repellent and a flea spray. That was my last night and I was not going to look for another place at 10 pm.
At the end of the stay I had flea bites all over; I took pictures and let the Elena know about the situation . She said she would investigate once back in the cottage.
I asked for a refund and until today haven't got one .
