I stayed here with my Aunt & Uncle visiting from Dublin and planned to work a little while on vacation.
I have been an Airbnb’er since 2015.
100% honest, the location was great and that’s about it. This place is a dingier than the pictures will lead you to believe. The first thing I noticed, the front door has a crack in the glass. The bathroom tub was dirty upon arrival, same goes for all of the windows which had been stuffed with tissue paper and are rotting. Caked in a layer of dust and dirt in the window frame as you open it.
Our bedroom had a hole in the wall.
There was no remote for the ceiling fan. And we realized one of the neighbors must have the same remote which is why our light and fan kept going on and off periodically through the day/night.
Finally, the only thing I was actually going to complain about before writing everything else was the internet was non-existent. I followed the owners directions which had been placed on the wall. Tried connecting through the Airbnb app, failed. Tried searching for the network on my laptop and iPhone, also failed. Ran all the standard trouble shooting someone who works in IT would do and restarted all my devices multiple times. I was unable to connect and had to leave in order to do my job and find a stable network.
I messaged the host who wasted a few hours of my time telling me it’s user error and that I need to restart my machine. Regardless of what I said, what screenshots I provided, the host was adamant that it was my fault.
Finally offered me the password to another network several hours later which was spotty and not stable enough to complete a video call. I left again the next day to work.
I requested $100 for the trouble and time wasted at which point I was told “you can just leave if you don’t like it. Find somewhere else in Mission Bay”
The above, interaction occurred on my 2nd day at the location. I no longer had any time to find another Airbnb for 8hrs to sleep. And felt as though we were no longer welcomed.
Unfortunately the host would not let up and it got to a point where I needed to ask “please stop, you are harassing me now”
This was absolutely my worst experience with an Airbnb and I could have let everything else slide but the lack of hospitality was the final straw.
The location is convenient. But I would highly recommend finding one of the many other locations available in the area.
We left the Airbnb cleaner than we got it.
The internet finally came on at 10:53PM the night before we checked out. I screenshot this and shared with Airbnb.
