Upon advice from the Airbnb support team, we are writing this review to ensure that future potential renters know what they are getting into. This host does not take cleanliness nor safety seriously - especially when it comes to covid. He was informed that our child had tested positive for covid and was actively contagious. He refused to refund or rain check us despite the fact that the reservation had been a last minute one, made less than 18 hours prior to the cancellation, and was for only one night. In fact, when we said if he was not willing to at least give us a rain check that we would simply keep the night, he responded that sounded good, but that the current occupants were still in the unit and it would not be ready until later. To be clear, the unit was still occupied, not yet cleaned, and with full knowledge of an incoming occupant with active covid, he was willing to risk the health and safety of future occupants by having us stay there. We did the only ethical and responsible thing possible which was to cancel the reservation. Despite involvement from airbnb, he continues to refuse to honor the reservation. At this point, we would not stay at his place anyway, given his disregard when it comes to cleanliness and covid.
Again, this post is being written at the behest of Airbnb to forewarn future occupants.
