I was beyond disappointed from the moment we arrived. There were 3 of us staying here- I requested a 4th but never got a response. 4 of us did arrive and we were told no, which wasn’t an issue so my husband left after helping us with our bags- he said he didn’t mind as he didn’t feel welcomed and everyone was greeted but him. My friends and I wanted a relaxing day at the pool and then to spend time in Malibu. The relaxation lasted for maybe an hour. Another group of people showed up to the pool which we were not expecting especially because I messaged the owner before booking letting them know our intentions and it would have been so nice to know it would be occupied by other guests as well. We didn’t feel comfortable so we left and spent time on the balcony instead which also didn’t last long because the couple watched us the whole time. We didn’t feel like we had any privacy - from other guests and the host as well. She was extremely over bearing- would approach us and include herself in every move we made- we tried to make the best of it and decided to go on a walk but the host immediately ran over to the door, talked to us for maybe 15 mins before letting us leave and then followed us outside! It was super uncomfortable so we ended up leaving when we got back. Even that was a task- as we were leaving she stood by the door the whole time asking us question after question when we just wanted to get out of there- asked us about races and literally laughed when I told her i was mixed with black ..We were there for less than 3 hours and did contact Airbnb- they said no violations occurred and would reach out to the hosts and ask for a partial refund which they declined. The house is beautiful but you get absolutely zero privacy or ability to enjoy it. We paid $600 for one and it was not worth it whatsoever. This is the first time I’ve used Airbnb and wasn’t granted space and privacy from a host. We each have a pretty hefty amount of followers online so we posted about our experience and people messaged back saying they also stayed here and a similar experience - I know they’re being truthful because they knew exactly where it was and some even knew the hosts names and how they were heavily expressive about being trump supporters (which isn’t an issue to each their own but people are here to enjoy their getaway not hear about politics) I just wish more people posted about their bad experiences - the only reason I booked this particular place is because the amazing reviews. I would not stay here again and would not recommend it to anyone.
