*PLEASE READ*
geez .. where do i begin …
i contacted igor on the airbnb app before i booked the trip and he never responded. i got the room anyway and asked more questions and did not hear back from him for 10 days (couple days before my trip) the only reason i got a hold of him was because i called his phone number. i had asked if we could check in early and he told me we couldnt and that was perfectly okay. i then asked if we can set our bags down at his place and again he did not respond for half a day. he finally responded “yes” right before we got our uber to his house. i was very considerate at first and told him i understand he works and everything but his communication was absolutely horrible.
we get to his house to drop our stuff off and leave right away. we get back to check in around 5/6 Pm. upon arrival the house smelled a little like urine… whatever… we then get ready for bed and i realized there were BLOOD STAINS!!! in the sheets??? i tried to contact igor and got no response. i put a towel on the bed and went to take a shower … the shower was clogged with soooo much hair and wouldnt drain properly. i contacted airbnb immediately. i had two options : ask for a full refund or get the cleaning fee back. i chose full refund since i feel that there had been a series of issues.
the next day igor called me wanting an “honest conversation”. he basically told me i am inconsiderate and entitled bc i complained about blood being on the sheets? i told him that is totally unacceptable and for him to defend blood being on the sheets people sleep on is disgusting and wrong. he told me he was “shaken up” and told me basically he doesnt need to do airbnb he makes enough money being a nurse and he doesnt want my money. he called me back. second time and offered to change the sheets after he told me he wasnt going to. i declined and i then told him to not call me or contact me and he continued to do so on airbnb. over the phone (which i recorded) he told me to check out at 12 PM since i had cancelled the reservation. he then messaged me on airbnb at 10:59 to leave at 11 am, after he agreed to 12 Pm and I had mentioned I was eating breakfast. he also kept comparing my “treatment” to him as slavery ?? which i think was odd considering my friend and i who stayed there are black ??
got a hold of airbnb and they offered me partial refund. ive seen igor mention in previous reviews people are lying and inconsiderate which i feel is untrue. i have no reason to lie … i had recorded the conversations with igor following the incident, took pictures of the blood in the bed and hair clogged in the shower, and have screenshots of all our messages with airbnb and over messenger. unfortunate this happened. i found an awesome hotel and continued to have fun in sf (: hopefully igor will learn to treat and talk to people in civil manner moving forward with airbnb.
