I chose Marisol's place during a trip to San Diego to drop off my daughter at college. We have stayed at many Airbnbs around the world and this one was by far the dirtiest and the worst. The place was unappealing as soon as we walked in - old furniture, dirty sofa, a film of dust on the TV stand. As the days progressed, all of the dirty details came to bear. At that point, I contacted Marisol and sent her pictures of the unsanitary conditions. There was absolutely no attempt to get the place cleaned up, no apology for the appalling conditions. She simply changed the check-out date and we were able to leave three days before our scheduled departure with a partial refund. I reported the conditions to Airbnb and they were able to view the photos. Below are the unsanitary conditions in which the place is being offered to the public.
The living room...there were dead dried up worms on one side of the windowsill, the other side of the windowsill had an accumulation of larvae. I noticed this when I went to close the windows due to the constant noise from airplanes coming in for landing at the airport. Keeping the windows closed is a compromise since the place has no A/C. There was an unlocked door next to the sofa that opened up to a dirty storage area containing a variety of junk - a hazardous situation for a child given the contents of the room and the fact that it is easily accessible from the living room.
The kitchen...there was a hole in the wall in a bottom corner of the kitchen area big enough for a pest to go in and out of. A spider had formed a web outside the hole where it had captured a couple of insects.
The shower...the drain was more like an unsightly hole in the ground with a disgusting worn out rubber-like film around it. All of this was covered by a shower mat that was white once-upon-a-time which I moved because it was too disgusting to step on. The shower curtain was at least 6 inches too long and it dragged into the shower. This too was white once-upon-a-time. Above the shower was a dirty filter with grayish lint-like fibers coming out of it. There were more dead worms in the corner by the toilette.
The bedroom...is a room that includes a toilette, the tiny shower plus a small sink, all together in this one room without a door or wall separating the bed and bathroom areas. Zero privacy. The curtains feel filthy to the touch and the "white" sheers drag on the floor. You have to move them if you don't want to step on them.
The outside...was dirty and unkept. The table that is shown in the profile is unusable due to the fact that it is most likely an old door placed on a couple of barrels outside. It is filthy, has rusty metal pieces sticking out of it and can easily splinter your skin since it isn't sanded nor curated in any way. There are spiderwebs between one planter and the other. This area is yet another health and safety hazard, especially for children.
If I could post pictures of the conditions of this place I would, however that is not an option.
