As first responders during this pandemic, after almost two years we were allowed to take vacations, only for 5 days, we took the opportunity to visit our daughter in Los Angeles. Instead of looking for a hotel, we decided on an Airbnb, since we could control the flow of people. We picked this Airbnb in Santa Monica. We chose this studio because it had a very good classification. Unfortunately we ignore the not good ratings. Mistake we made. When we arrived , the stairs were covered with leaves, which we thought was good, there are many trees around, but unfortunately they were also dirty, when we entered the Airbnb, the size was not what we expected, but we also thought, okay, we will only be here to sleep, however we opened the fridge, it was full of used food and the toilet was dirty. This I realized after informing the hosts about the food in the fridge. The host Gary replied to my message, informing us that they were out of the area, which is why they had hired someone to do the job. After we spent the afternoon on the pier, we went to the studio. when we lay down, just above our heads there is a lamp, dust came out of it, as in the ceiling fan. We spent the night, but I decided not to stay in it, since both my husband and I are cancer survivors. The next day we got a hotel and we informed the hosts that we had to leave since the place was very dirty and we explained our health condition, which did not allow us to be in the place. At all times I address myself in a very respectful way, however the host Suzanne, took the whole matter very personally, and I react badly as with other guests who would classify with not very well the Airbnb. We stayed only one night, we asked for a refund, which the host take very badly. She suggest that we were making up what was reported. Since I have been using Airbnb I have not had a bad rating, on the contrary all the hosts have invited me to return to their apartments or house. Upon rechecking the ratings of this airbnb, there are several guests who also had problems and misclassified the study to which the hostess responds by accusing the guests of being horrible people, according to their responses. I tried by all means not to have to give a bad rating, but sadly, this person treated us as if we were making everything up. For these reasons I cannot give a good rating, much less recommend it.
