Eric seems like a nice man and my wife enjoyed talking with him.
I also found him to be likeable.
However, we think he should refund 1/3 of the money we paid him. That is our request to him and to AirBNB.

The fact is that we were misled, and what we were promised in exchange for the money we paid, was not provided to us.

The day before our arrival, we re-confirmed with Eric that he would have a single bed in the room for our 7 year old daughter, as he agreed to. He did reconfirm this.
Upon our arrival, which was the Saturday night before Christmas, Eric advised us that he did not have a single bed. When I reminded him that he just confirmed this arrangement in writing the day prior, his response was that we did not have to take the room and he would refund our money. Great . . . . . on the Saturday night before Christmas, in the LA area, he gave us the alternative to leave!
So, with a tired and hungry 7 tear old, we opted to make the best of an unfortunate situation.

What was puzzling was that there was no room in the room to add a single bed. So why did he tell us this?
And then our bathtub. I have photos of the severe mold and mildew that has clearly been growing for some time.
The listing states: “Don't risk your health in a hotel, Germ free home”.

At the time we were packing to leave, we heard voices that sounded like an argument. It was Eric and a female guest arguing about him misrepresenting her room to her. I spoke with her afterwards but I won’t go into those details here. Like us, she had an agreement in writing (email and texts) that he did not honor.

Eric seems to not give much importance to his word (even when it is in writing), and cleanliness: our bathtub and the floors of the house.
He told us one of the rules was no shoes in the house. This is fine, however, my daughter and I were wearing white socks and after walking around the house in our socks, they were filthy on the bottom.

Much less significant is the fact that the listing (which I notice he has now changed) stated that he include breakfast. When we asked Eric about breakfast, he told us he does not include breakfast.
But this is another less important example of misrepresentation of what we were getting in exchange for the money he took from us for staying there.

Again: we would ask Eric to refund 1/3 of the money we paid him, to make this right.
We are also asking AirBNB to review this situation and our mold and mildew photos.
