My worst Airbnb experience so far.
The unit smelled bad when I arrived. It smelled like mold (musty, earthy, like sweaty socks) and cigarette smoke, masked with so much fragranced air freshener that it was unpleasant. I attempted to air it out by opening the windows and using my own portable air filter, but the smell still disrupted my sleep and made me feel ill. It was so strong it stuck to my clothes and the blanket I brought from home.
I think it’s important to share certain attributes about this place that you cannot glean from the photos:
- The couch is very stiff and uncomfortable.
- The kitchen counter was dirty with the residue of spilled coffee, so I cleaned it myself when I arrived.
- One of the couch pillows had visibly not been cleaned.
- The wifi wasn’t reliable for watching TV or videos. It would also cut in and out and lag during Zoom meetings.
- The refrigerator was wobbly.
- The linens had a strong smell of fragrance, masking a smoke odor. The mixture was nauseating.
- Though the neighborhood is lovely, this particular spot is a bit run down.
Aside from the lovely neighborhood, the only redeeming quality of this place was great water pressure and the water heated very quickly.
I will definitely not stay here again.
