Unresponsive host. Incredibly noise polluted street.
The home is located in an incredibly loud area; right off of a major street and right next to a freeway. I asked the host about the home’s location before booking because my mother is sensitive to loud noises when she’s sleeping and I also don’t want to be surrounded by noise pollution at night and during sleep. He assured me the home was not near the freeway and was not loud. Immediately after arriving I realized this to not be true - the sounds from the major road that the house is directly situated on and the freeway vibrate and permeate throughout the home.
I sent a message to the host about not being able to stay there because of this reason. He simply did not respond. And continued to ignore each of my messages.
The booking was made only two hours before we arrived - but the host ignored my message asking if he would refund us as we weren’t impeding on any other potential bookings and as he lied about the location of the home being near the freeway and the subsequent noise.
Would not recommend. I’ve been using Airbnb for 10 years and travel very often - steer clear from this listing. There are lovelier hosts and much more comfortable homes to rent from in LA.
