READ BEFORE STAYING!!
So my wife and I wanted to stay here for two nights because we were searching for apartments to move into in LA. Anyway, the first night (Saturday April 17th) we were just about ready to go to bed then all of a sudden three people came in. One male and two females. (The third female I’m pretty positive was a female, she was wearing a white hoodie with what we saw looking out the window.) So the three come in and were super loud and my wife and I just thought that it was one of the other two guests staying in the home. We were hoping that they knew there were other guests in the house sleeping (or trying to sleep) but they kept talking really loud and laughing, keeping us both awake. We overheard one girl ask “is this your place?” And the guy said yeah its mine. We knew that it was the owner “host” that came in with them which already was very unprofessional of him to do when he knows he rented out the place to three different guests.. The walls are super thin so you can literally hear anyone talking at a regular voice level on the other side of the wall. Anyways they finally go into his bedroom (I know it was his because it’s the room that has a special keycode lock on his door to get into, plus we heard it unlock and open up) his room is directly next to ours, basically the middle of the house. Now if you’re still reading this, it gets crazier. My wife was already very upset because we had a long next day ahead of us so she wanted to rest, but out of nowhere we started hearing heavy breathing and moaning from one of the girls. THEY WERE LEGIT HAVING LOUD SEX NEXT TO OUR BEDROOM. THE AIRBNB HOST!! Who does that?? My wife was traumatized by the whole thing and started to play music loud on her phone to not hear the sex in the room next to ours. I’m almost positive it was a threesome but can’t be certain it was. It was for sure sex though and so uncalled for from our own host. If it was a different guest I mean I can understand that, maybe they wouldn’t realize other guests were there, but no.... it was the hosts room.
I sent the host a message notifying him that I hear guests having sex (I said guests because I didn’t want to make him feel awkward that we were hearing all that) but he didn’t even respond until the morning. Usually he responds within an hour but after that incident, he kinda ignored my messages and is now saying he’s contacting airbnb about me before I even messaged them.
My wife went and knocked on his door to make them stop being so loud and that actually worked to an extent. They kept going until it was over and the two girls left the house and got in a parked car and drove off. Our room is technically the living room area so we saw them leaving. One blonde girl in a skimpy tight dress and the other in a hoodie.
The following stay was fine, nothing happened and I’m sure he just didn’t want to show his face because of feeling embarrassed and lack of responsibility towards his own guests.
I requested the first night stay back as a refund but he never responded to me about the incident and the only message he sent to me was notifying he airbnb that I made false claims about him..
I’m not sure what the rules are about hosts living in Airbnb’s with the other guests but I don’t think having loud threesomes is in the contract..
Checkin was easy and so was checkout so I’ll give him that but other than that, put of all the Airbnb’s ive paid for on my account or stays I’ve been in with my friends, this was the only traumatizing experience I’ve had.
If you’re comfortable with the host having loud sex in the room next to yours then this is the place for you!
It’s just very upsetting that Robert was so professional up until he has you booked in the place and already has your money, then he doesn’t seem to care for your needs as guests anymore.
I’m very upset that he didn’t even claim he was in the wrong and apologize to my wife and I. He will probably write a bad review about me for absolutely no reason because he’s upset about us hearing him and complaining, but who knows, I haven’t seen his review about me yet. We only stayed there at night and left in the morning and took all of our stuff with us each day for security purposes.
If you made it this far, just pay the extra cash to stay somewhere nicer and more respectful.. you shouldn’t have to feel uncomfortable or worried in an Airbnb..
Wow this is a long message lol but I’m sure whoever reads it will be thankful for it.
I told you Robert I was going to be honest in my review. Everything I said is true and you know it.
