The apartment smelled like cat pee when we arrived and the host refused to acknowledge the problem. Cat odor is mentioned in a few other reviews in the past and I made the mistake of thinking it had been resolved or that the guests were picky. I have indoor cats, I grew up with indoor cats. I like cats, and I’m not picky. But I don’t want to sleep in a litter box, and that’s what my partner, friends in LA who dropped us off and I all thought it was like. I’m not sure where the smell came from, but it was without a doubt there. On top of everything, the host never apologized, claimed the smell was just damp air and made every attempt to undermine our concerns.
For the record. We paid for three nights. Our flight was delayed so we missed the first night and couldn’t check in until the next afternoon. When we arrived we were so put off by the smell we had to open the windows. At my request, Sixto agreed to clean the unit, but when we came back, we could still smell litter box, so a friend offered to let us crash on their couch, which wasn’t what we paid for but was preferable. We got one night refund but overall lost $250. Maybe the money can be spent on cleaners or better litter
