Travellers beware of false advertising! I was conned by Guillermo. His house is dirty, run-down and poorly built by amateurs. The photos are either old or staged.
Upon arriving after an exhausting long haul flight, I had to vacuum all the floors and deal with a clogged shower drain. The apartment is full of hairs: on the floors, the walls, and even in the bed. The chairs and carpet are covered in stains, and the windows are so grimy you can barely see out of them. The washing machine is filthy, like something you’d see at a laundromat, and the patios are in rough shape — nothing like the photos.
Also be aware of the large, noisy construction site next door that the listing doesn't mention. They are hammering, sawing, and banging things around 6 days a week, starting before 8am. It's directly next to the bedroom and the kitchen/living room area so you can’t escape the noise. And if you’re a woman, expect to be catcalled by the workers when you leave the house alone, as happened to my wife.
The list of problems goes on. Having junkies camped out on the stairs was the least of our concerns (this is SF after all).
I would have switched to a different Airbnb, but nothing was available in SF on such short notice. After complaining to the host, he stopped replying to my messages for a week.
As a world traveler I’m fine with paying more, but expect a certain standard. This place fell far short. Don’t make the poor apartment choice I made unless you’re okay with slumming it.
