I am at a complete loss for words... I want to preface by saying that this is a nice remodeled home located in a decent part of San Diego. I was so excited when I found an affordable Airbnb in an area I used to spend a lot of time in. The shared spaces were clean and the master suite I stayed in also seemed clean. However, it didn’t take me long to realize the sheets hadn’t been washed.
Shortly after laying in the bed, I could feel that it was dirty. I ended up examining the bed and was horrified. I noticed that the pillowcases had fresh stains on them, there were little hairs, and grime that wasn’t from me. I also found a very long pubic hair in the bed and that was the last straw for me.
I noticed this late at night and didn’t immediately contact the host, but to be honest I didn’t feel that it was my responsibility to notify the host. I’m pretty confident he knew that the sheets weren’t washed prior to my arrival. Everything else was in decent shape, minus the bed which seemed a little skeptical.
It’s very uncomfortable not knowing who slept in the bed before me. Pandemic or not, this shouldn’t fly. I’ve never felt so disrespected. Airbnb has left it up to the discretion of the host to give me a refund. I’m very disappointed to say that he has declined. I think this goes to show how he cares more about his business than the health and safety of his visitors.
