The bedroom smelled like urine and upon searching the room trying to figure out where it was coming from, we discovered that there was urine on the mattress! Not on the mattress pad, but on the mattress. When I let her know upon check out, she tried to claim that it was because of me and tried to claim that I cost her thousands of dollars worth of revenue and that I owed her a new mattress. This was absolutely absurd as I had pictures to prove otherwise.
Strongly recommend reading all the rules and fees that go along with renting this place! I spent the entire time I was there making sure everyone knew the rules and followed them so we didn’t get charged with any fees! I’m a very clean person and left the house MUCH cleaner than when I got there, but yet, I still had to deal with other issues with the host after checking out! If you get a drop of makeup on the white towels then you have to pay a fine, so I spent my vacation not wearing makeup because I wanted to respect her rules and didn’t want any chance of getting something on her towels.
She was very egotistical in her statements upon trying to pin the urine mattress on me, saying she doesn’t need the money that she’s very wealthy, while also claiming that she doesn’t want me to hold it against her (or her rating probably).
Before trying to pin the urine on the mattress on me, the host claimed her cleaning staff has not done a good job of paying attention to details, yet they are trustworthy enough to claim that we were the source of the urine on the mattress, underneath the mattress pad, which doesn’t even make sense. This was a terrible experience, this place had ridiculous house rules, which we adhered to, I would rather stay at a hotel and pay twice as much rather than deal with this situation again. I would recommend that others look literally anywhere else for shelter while in San Diego. I can understand specific house rules, but these rules were beyond over the top. This was one of the worst experiences and I would not recommend booking this place.
