Honestly, the worst experience I’ve had at an air bnb. Upon arrival, we received a message from the host saying that the toilet was clogged from the previous guests and asking us to let the plumber in when we arrive. Then asked us to delay check-in until 5 PM. We arrived at 5 and the toilet was still broken, and we were not able to use the bathroom for another hour. This caused us to delay our dinner & evening plans. The hosts were not helpful & rude about it after our stay when we asked for a partial refund.
The location of the air bnb is in a sketchy, run-down area of San Diego. We left the window in the bathroom open after taking a shower and the house quickly filled with the smell of cigarette & marijuana smoke from the neighbors.
The air bnb was not completely clean. You could feel leftover residue of dirt/crumbs walking around barefoot. The baseboards around the house were marked up with dirt from previous tenants. It was evident that the cleaning process was not thorough & definitely questionable. Even the cutlery and utensils were dirty and we had to rewash things before we used them.
Finally, each room had its own personal AC wall unit which seemed nice upon arrival. The master bedroom AC unit kept switching on and off, which was really annoying in the middle of the night as the unit was really loud and old. Made it difficult to get a good night sleep during our stay.
This airbnb was like staying in a sad, rundown ikea furnished college apartment.
