Overall, I would NOT recommend booking this apartment/unit. The listing was altered AFTER I complained about foul skunk smell. The host made it seem like I was dumb enough to book something stating “We do have a skunk family problem, the smell isn’t that bad so if you don’t like that there’s not much we can do.”
When my family and I arrived, we saw how wonderful everything looked. But when we walked in and looked around we noticed skunk smells coming from the master bedroom, particularly the walk-in closet. At first we thought it was from the outside. We realize how bad it was and decided to close up that room. Then the following morning we smelled it again, now lingering into the other room, bathroom, and kitchen. I contacted the host about the smell and it took her a while to respond even though she sends me something usually within minutes. She stated what I said earlier about the skunk family, and that it was on the listing. I know I thoroughly check listings before I book anything, so that was a red flag. I also made sure to read through reviews and NO ONE complained about SKUNK SMELLS. She contacted the property manager and they literally just put a high powered fan in to help with the smell. It did not do anything. I eventually had to go and get spray to help alleviate the smell. I called Airbnb Support and it took them 5 days after to help me. This apartment and unit had everything and was actually nice, but how can you let people stay here knowing it smells like skunk?? I have asthma and my mother has respiratory issues. I did not feel safe or comfortable knowing I was breathing this smell in. I also ended up working in my car because the smell was too much. I hope this host is transparent with her listings in the future.
