The main reasons my bf and I booked an Airbnb instead of a hotel was because of privacy and access to a kitchen. Petra was very on point with communication and allowed us to have an early check in after driving 16hrs down to LA. She also agreed to letting my cat come stay at the Airbnb (my cat ended up not coming along) but any concern I had Petra answered in a very timely manner which is really nice. There were only 2 downfalls to my stay here. One was cleanliness and privacy. When we arrived at the Airbnb we noticed that there was a staircase next to the main bedroom door that led somewhere (it was blocked off by a laundry basket so we took that as a sign to not go up). The listing didn’t mention a staircase and I assumed whatever was up there was empty. No. Im guessing it was a continuation of the main house. Throughout our 4 day stay whoever lives up there would be stomping, dragging stuff around even until midnight. It woke me up multiple times. I could hear their conversations clear as day, as if they were in the room with me. Anytime I heard them walking upstairs I would freeze thinking they were going to come downstairs. Not a fan of that. At all. It was very anxiety-inducing. The second was even worse. The kitchen was dirty. All of the dishes, cups,pans and utensils had a weird smell and calcium rust or white stains not sure what they were but they were all over everything. The Airbnb also didn’t come with a dish sponge. We felt dirty staying here. The Keurig coffee machine also had coffee stains left from the previous stay. We were upset even drinking water from the cups we hand washed felt gross. We wanted to save money by cooking some food at the Airbnb but that wasn’t possible and I wasn’t going to wash every single dish and pot before I used them just to wash them again right after. It seemed as though the Airbnb was given a quick look over to see it was clean enough but the more we looked the more we found. I would not stay here again. I hate leaving such a bad review because Petra was so accommodating before our stay but I didn’t feel comfortable bringing these to her attention during our stay due to anxiety.
