I hope you read all of the host's AirBnb reviews before booking. I stayed for almost 2 months and have following negative observations:
1) Dangerous/Unsafe neighborhood: even when I was checking in, I saw this pan handler who was laughing loud in front of the apartment and staring. There are many street bums in the area. You even have to carry a lock for Trash Dumpster and have to use it to open and lock it. It was really inconvenient. There's even one review about police getting involved in this host's AirBnb.
2) Really loud: Pan handlers yelling in the middle of the night really loud, trash trucks coming throughout the day with loud noise, neighbors constantly banging walls and talking loud on the phone at night. It was impossible to have a work meeting properly or sleep at night. This is after wearing ear buds and putting on Bose noise cancelling headphones.
3) Poor Host Communication: It was impossible to get a hold of the host. Most of times, for any request I had it took at least 2-3 days to hear back on the messages after I follow up. They send generic messages automatically as they are building their Airbnb Empire per another review I read. Because it was impossible to get a hold of them, I had to get AirBnB involved.
4) False Reviews: I've noticed one review about being able to see the ocean from the apartment' it is false; some reviews about good communication: it's false; one review about high end appliances: it's false as well. I even got burnt from using cheap cooking utensil which transmitted the heat from the stove. Coffee maker was extremely dirty even after washing hence I decided not to use it and drank instant coffee. Another review regarding lots of space: it was false as well. There was barely no space to put anything. The closet was extremely small and there was no place to put luggage.
5) Poor Furniture: I could feel springs when I sat in the bed. Towels they had bleach stains. Very first night, there was chewing gum in the bed sheets which looked like someone threw it after chewing. Chair made so much noise. Lighting was dark. Closet space was small. Fridge was old with odor. There is no A/C in this place and it gets really hot when it's above 75F degree. They couldn't even accommodate to bring a floor fan when I requested.
6) Smell: I could smell weed all day from the apartment.
7) Noise: Walls are thin and the next door person was really loud with banging the wall behavior and talking on the phone loud at nights. I complained but nothing really happened hence the noise kept going. It was difficult to have a work zoom meetings and sleep well at night. The noise from outside was unbearable per my comment above.
8) Bugs: there were so many spiders crawling through my belongings throughout the stay as well as the fruit flies.
I've stayed at many AirBnBs throughout the world as an avid traveler, and I do not recommend this place at all. Read all reviews and I hope you make the right decision.
