• Much time spent on the lofts’ AC as later it was discovered that circuit breaker was off and then the batteries in it’s remote were also dead. So even when breaker was switched back to on, the AC still did not work. It was a new style HVAC AC, so it wasn't clear (there were no instructions nor User's Guide), how it functioned or how it was turned on via the (non-functioning) remote.
• Unable to use TV the whole stay as batteries from that remote were needed for the AC remote (different floors).
Bulb in one of two lamps out, so unable to use that lamp the whole stay. Or - the lamp itself was broken.
• Took a photo of which lamp at host’s request, but no followup, no communication afterwards.
• Though promised, neither the non-functioning bulb nor lamp was never replaced, new batteries for a remote never delivered
• There was communication about rectifying some of these things the first morning morning, but no follow through and no communication from host about anything afterwards.
• Later, after stay was already over, host’s disingenuous claim was that they left replacement batteries & a bulb in a bag on the doorknob, but no bag was ever seen. And if true, why was there 0 communication from the host about it until after the stay was over?
I asked for partial refund. Host’s reply was I should have asked for an earlier departure the morning of checkout.
I travel to SD often; will never use this host’s airbnbs again.
