How do I begin to describe the many ways in which this property differs from the description posted here on airbnb? Before I attempt this, I must disclose that we checked-in before the owner, Buz, suggested we do so. The disgusting state of this suite was moderately improved after the cleaner arrived at 1pm, but the level of cleanliness was still so poor that our party seriously considered relocating to a hotel. To make our experience even worse, Buz was defensive when we contacted him to complain and offered zero compensation. To quote Buz: “I did you a big favor by allowing you to check in early. I said at 1pm, not before. You decide arbitrarily to come in at noon.” We have reported this listing to airbnb.

First, the images used for this listing are significantly dated, and must have been taken immediately after a renovation. The blinds are all damaged, all of the upholstery is stained and dirty, and heaters are rusty and falling off the walls. Second, much of the cutlery and dishware was filthy, and we had to rewash most of it in order to use it. The cleaner didn’t touch any utensils or tableware. Third, many of the “amenities” don’t work: the elements on the stove work but the oven is broken, the laundry machine is at least 20 years old and stops mid-cycle every time, and the wifi only works near the front of the suite. Lastly, this is an unsanitary space in general. The bath was full of hair, the insides of the kitchen cupboards were covered with food, and the futon cover was unacceptably dirty, considering this is a sleeping space. Two of the beds, including the pullout, were stained with bodily fluids. Fortunately, our group brought extra bedding.

We have taken photos of everything if you'd like to see examples. I strongly encourage you to email us for images of how deceitful the airbnb listing is for this suite: alexdawkins2@hotmail.com
Sorry Buz, this property is absolutely light years away from how it is described. This stay was booked to celebrate my dad’s 70th birthday and your property really put a damper on our trip to LA.
