I don’t write reviews but for this instance I feel it is necessary. I have never been so dissatisfied with an Airbnb before, it is completely mind boggling.
We were in California for a wedding during a time where it was a government warned heat wave. The temperature has reach at most 105 degrees Fahrenheit. The Airbnb had no air conditioning even though it was listed as an accommodation. The host claimed they had “no idea” but instead of fixing the problem, ignored it.
On top of this, there was a smoke detector missing from the living room by the front door. You would think in a state where there are many forest fires this would have been resolved immediately but instead, was ignored.
Lastly but not as concerning, the coffee machine broke which incurred additional charges on my group to find some ourselves. When addressed to the host, they mentioned the previous guest broke it. Again, less concerning but you would think maybe they’d give us a heads up or replace it.
I have asthma. Excessive heat makes it quite difficult to breathe. I couldn’t afford to book a different location so I was stuck here. It was difficult to sleep at night and we spent most of our time out because outside was better than being in here.
Next time I pick an Airbnb I most certainly will ensure everything listed is actually working and I recommend the same for those who chose this place moving forward.
