If you want a MOLDY, SMELLY, UNSAFE home, look no further. When we booked this place we were encouraged by all the great reviews...nice kitchen, responsive host, etc. We are renovating our new house in Redondo Beach, so the location made sense for us while we were doing construction. It started out great with the host helping us out when we needed to leave things at her place earlier than expected due to a sudden family emergency. However, things went downhill right when we checked in. Right off the bat, the dishwasher didn't work at all (made a screaming high pitched noise when trying to run it). When I contacted the host about it, she said they were planning to get a new one. Obviously, they knew there was an issue. We had no dishwasher for the first 3 weeks of our month stay. 3 weeks in, when dishwasher installation was supposed to happen, the host expected us to be there to manage the install. Um, NO, not our responsibility. She had her sister come. When we returned at the end of the day, the crew had left a disgusting mess in the kitchen. I asked for a cleaning and got one, but only on the Saturday after the install - install was on a Wednesday. So many days with no cleaning. Thats only scratching the surface on the kitchen issues. The photos look nice, but when you get there you notice it must be a very old marble countertop that was never sealed properly. It is DIRTY. We could never get the dirt out. Unsanitary. I never felt comfortable cooking there. Plus the disposal doesn't work properly. The host says in the guide not to use it. Why doesn't she just FIX IT?? Lack of care for the property, that's why. Once the dishwasher was installed, about four days after, I noticed an awful smell coming from under the kitchen sink cabinets. Then I noticed I could hear running water. When my husband checked it out, the pipe under the sink was NOT ATTACHED AT ALL. It had been leaking a little and started leaking more, so we noticed. When I called the host, she wanted us to fix. We popped the pipe back in, but she was very resistant when I recommended she call a plumber to pump the cabinet out. Then she proceeded to call me repeatedly that night and the next day (while I was in meetings at work) to try to get me to meet the plumber, call the plumber, etc. NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY. I work during the day and can't (and shouldn't) be there to manage her house. She finally had a plumber come out while I was at work during the day and said everything was fixed. Doubt it. The smell only got worse during the next 4 days while we were there. We've checked out now, and I'm sure the health hazard is only getting worse since the host seems reluctant to...
