This unit had some serious work and repairs that needed to be made before I arrived - but were not. I don’t think Denise will rent it out again before the property is cleaned and fixed. So I would ask and make sure everything is in working order.
Both she and AirBnb were understanding and responsive - I was offered help finding a new place - which I declined - and then got a full refund....and was not charged for the one night there.
So - was I disappointed- yes. But it was ultimately handled quickly and professionally.
