WARNING ❗️THERE IS A FULL BLOWN CONSTRUCTION SITE OUTSIDE THE BEDROOM.
Unfortunately, I did not have a peaceful or enjoyable stay due to Victor intentionally not disclosing that the building next door is in the EARLY stages of a LARGE construction site.
Thus, there was incredibly loud drilling into cement, metal clashing, backhoe digging, as well as disturbing/harmful smells that seeped into the bedroom window. I had made it very clear that I was staying at Victor’s residence to get away for a relaxing stay and instead I was in alarm mode starting in the early hours of the morning at the constant trembling, banging and drilling which lasted throughout the day. I left Victor’s home intentionally until the evening and did not get to use the patio or rooftop amenities highlighted on his listing as they are side-by-side with the construction, noise, and dust. Had Victor of provided this information upfront it would of given me the option to look elsewhere, but because I paid for two nights already, I had no choice but to stay. Context: when I arrived it was near the evening so I was not made aware of the noise or disturbing air quality until the next morning. So, I requested LESS THAN HALF of the time I stayed to be refunded, which came to $115.
Victor works in front of the listing and he deliberately avoided me in passing in what seemed as an attempt to deter from having to discuss this issue with me; as well, he has not yet acknowledged or replied to any of the messages I have sent to resolve this matter.
Status: because Victor has not replied to my messages, I am currently taking this issue up with Airbnb. As a result of the multiple construction site images that I provided to Airbnb, they have decided to escalate this issue.
Safety: I am a single traveling female so I prefer the front door to be locked especially while I am gone from the home and my belongings are there. However, whether entering or leaving, early or late, I would return to find the front door repeatedly left unlocked.
