BEWARE!!!! Our stay at this home was troubling and absolutely subpar. When we arrived we were satisfied with the accommodations, but it was clear that the home was quite run down. In many ways it could be described as "fake nice". The screen door had a tear in it that rendered it useless, for the most part, the bathroom door was unable to properly close and when it finally would close properly, it would often lock whoever was in there in, as the door handle didn't properly work. At night, when we had come back from dinner and were on our way to an event, we were unfortunately locked out of the home. Erik's home operates on a passcode lock. At 9:15pm, when we inputted the passcode, the light turned green, indicating that the passcode had worked and the sound of the locking mechanism unlocking began. Despite this, the door would not open. After several tries, we called Erik to inform him of the issue. He explained that this had happened in the past and asked us to shake the door in a very specific way to try to alleviate the issue. After several tries, this did not work. He let us know that he was going to call his brother, who had dealt with this issue for him in the past, to fix it. We were quite upset because we had chosen this Airbnb to celebrate our best friend's birthday and were now late to a reservation that we had made for an event. Erik informed us that his brother would be there in 15-20 minutes. After 35 minutes, we called Erik to ask for an update, as his brother had not yet come. He said he would be there shortly. When his brother finally came, he told us that we were lucky this had happened once before so he had come prepared with his drill. He then explained that last time this happened he had crawled through a window to get into the unit and open it up from the inside. We explained to him that out of precaution, we had tightly closed the windows to avoid any intruders. So instead, his brother tried to open the back door with his keys, but thirty minutes later explained that he did not have the right one. Then he stated that he would try getting in by either removing the back window or the back door. Finally, 20 minutes after that he opened the door for us. At this point, 3 young girls had been locked out of their unit in the freezing cold and an unfamiliar neighborhood for an hour and a half. This was not only terrifying on its own, but frustrating as has brother had made it clear that this had happened before. He even stated that it was prone to happen if little kids were in the house, as a button towards the bottom of the door would get stuck if touched since in his words, "the lock is so old." This is absolutely gross negligence on the part of the hosts. They should never compromise the safety of their guests because they do not want to change a faulty lock. It was disastrous for us and our birthday celebrations, so we decided to just head to bed instead of risking getting locked out again. At night, the bedroom has an air conditioner that shuts on and off every 20 minutes. This unit is so loud that it is impossible not to wake up every time it turns back on. It was also entirely inefficient because the moment it shut off the room would become unbearably hot. Needless to say, our experience at Erik's unit was awful and I would not recommend this Airbnb to my worst enemy. We contacted the hosts in regards to a refund due to their negligence, and they had the audacity to say we were lucky they hadn't charged us for the inconvenience. Just awful all around.
