We have rented Sam’s place from January 24 - January 28, 2022. We have been driving though USA staying in different airbnbs, and this was for sure our worst stay. When we came to check in the manager and personal came running towards us telling us that we couldn’t check in, because it wasn’t legal to use the apartment for airbnb. After discussing with them for 2 hours we were finally let into the apartment. We had our two small children there. They were so scared. When we entered the apartment it stank of smoke. They have tried to cover the smell with horrible parfumerie, but there was cigarettes on the balcony and the smell was overwhelming. The floor was so dirty that our feed got all black from walking on it. The babies knees was all black just from crawling on it for 10 minutes.
Beside that the apartment floor and apartment in general was extremely cold. I spend the first day cleaning the apartment, just so we could stay there.
The rest of our stay was just as awful. Every time we left the apartment, the people working there told us that we couldn’t stay and that we should leave immediately. This happened even tho we went a different route when leaving the house just to avoid them. We were told that we just ‘just avoid them and then there wouldn’t be a problem’ but it was impossible to avoid them.
The kids and we felt pretty uncomfortable all the time.
It was overall a really bad experience and the apartment was dark, dirty and didn’t at all feel like a ‘home away from home’.
