DO NOT RENT, if you are expecting what you see on images. I was fooled.
I work in healthcare and this year was especially challenging in many ways. I saw the beautiful photos of this house on the beach and booked it fast. I kept telling my friends and colleagues how I will spend my birthday at this luxurious house in Malibu. My excitement was contagious because people from work wanted to rent the same place in the future and were asking me for info.
The moment I entered this house my excitement shifted into a major disappointment. I was devastated to be honest. Pictures posted on Airbnb look bright , polished, airy, new, clean.
Reality was different- dirty rugs, dirty drawers with mess inside, multiple non functioning doors, peeled paint, broken hazardous outlets etc etc
Communication with the point person was laughable. He suggested that he will bring a repair person while I am there. ??? And he told me that this was a steal in Malibu.
As you can imagine, my attempt to solve the situation didn’t go anywhere. I said that I do not want to stay at this property but he can find me a different property or my money back.
I left the property the same day and booked a hotel elsewhere.
This was supposed to be my birthday treat.
