This was the worst airbnb stay that I have experienced since using this service. Please be aware that this house is a shared space. There is another rental that you will be sharing the property with. (This was not advertised, so it's definitely not as private).
Anyway, shortly after we arrived we decided to sit and watch a movie. While we were sitting the coffee table collapsed. Our group was stunned. We honestly could not figure out how this happened because NO ONE was touching the table and the only things on it were a couple drinks and glasses. After we came to our sense a little we inspected the table. Upon our investigation, we saw that there were two holes with screws missing. If a table is missing screws, of course the table is going to fall because it's unstable and you know... gravity. Anyways, we took pictures IMMEDIATELY when it happened and messaged Christian and Ross. They got back to us and told us that they would have someone come over the next day to pick up the table and fix it. Spoiler alert, no one came to fix it the whole weekend. There was no proper place to store it, so two people in our group actually ended hurting their feet because it was in the way. On our second day there, we were about to leave for lunch. As we were leaving, the smart lock started to malfunction and would not turn on. We were unable to lock the front door. We contacted Christian and Ross again. They said they would have someone over that day to fix the lock. Spoiler alert again, no one came to fix the lock. We were hungry so we stepped out real quick and ended up coming back right away because we didn't feel safe leaving our valuables knowing that the house was not properly locked. (I would also like to mention that the side sliding glass door does not lock - lots of safety red flags.) We ended up having to cancel reservations and plans because we just did not feel safe leaving our stuff without functioning locks.
It gets worse. After our stay, I get a notification that "Christian is requesting $500 for a broken coffee table". At this point I am baffled. A faulty coffee table was placed in the Airbnb living room and fell because it was unstable PRIOR to our visit. It is honestly ridiculous that we were being blamed for negligence on the host's part. As owners of this property, they should be doing quality checks and ensuring that items in the house (tables, furniture, household items, LOCKS) are working and promoting safety for guests that are paying money to stay in their space. We went to San Diego for a nice getaway but somehow this weekend turned into an extremely stressful situation as we had to cancel plans because of broken locks and were being falsely accused for breaking furniture that was already unstable to begin with and not to mention caused injury. I spent the next couple of days talking with Airbnb support and guess what - THEY SIDED WITH ME based on the proof (pictures) that I provided. I wasted my time having to get this situation handled because these hosts thought that I would pay them for their error. Overall, I would not recommend staying in this place - there are so many other better places to stay in San Diego.
