KAREN ALERT!
The room is underneath the main house and there are at least 3 doors that open directly from the Airbnb room to the main house. You can hear everything the hosts are saying and it sounds like they are in your room at times.
The listing states “No smoking”, which is a standard rule. This is understood, but my guest and I brought marijuana with us and we would roll it in the room, but always smoke outside. This is a legal state of California and it is not illegal to have weed in your possession. They smelled weed and came down asking us to stop smoking in the house. We clearly stated that we haven’t and would never smoke on the premise. Dodie, a co-host came down and spoke to my girlfriend who is black, in a HIGHLY RACIST TONE. We were appalled, but she told us that’s ok to roll, but make sure to go to the street to smoke. Which we did. The other co-host Karen, I mean Victoria sorry, sent a message to me stating there are filters in the house to eliminate the smell. So we turned them on.
The next day we were rolling again and they came down to check it out. Both hosts would do these weird fake walks around their garden acting as if they were looking at the plants, but they were really spying on us. They then sent another message saying we all of a sudden can’t have weed at all and also to stop smoking it in the house. I responded by re-stating we haven’t and would never smoke on the property, also stating that if they do not want marijuana at all on their property, they should clearly state that in the listing. But they know they will lose money by stating that so they refrain from doing so. After I responded, they reported us to Airbnb and told them we were breaking house rules by smoking on the property, a bold face lie.
They operate and communicate with high levels of passive aggression instead of being adults instead of telling us day 1 they’d prefer if we didn’t have marijuana at all in the room. And we would have been totally fine with that!
Our check out day I went to speak with the host personally to ask why the false report to Airbnb. After they continued to cut me off In stating my clear request to just be adults and say what you need to say instead of coming down and telling us “I smell something weird”, they kicked us off the property. We are not children, grow up and say what you need to say.
So after all the passive aggression and the false report to Airbnb, and in summary, nice looking place, but beware of the Karen’s and racist behavior. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
