Mia is a nice person.
The first day we had nice conversations, but from the second day on I had quite a few issues staying there. I try to be objective here to state the issues.
When I put more oil to cook steak, she saw, kept nagging me it’s way too much, and asked me to save the used oil for next time.
I left my room door ajar when I was in the kitchen.
Mia entered my room without asking me and took away the hairdryer that I borrowed from her an hour or 2 hours ago.
She saw me and said she took it and will put it in the common area in case other guests need it too. I’m totally fine to return the hairdryer after I used, but entering someone’s room without asking is an invasion of privacy.
Mia only accepts guests who can stay at least 4 days, but you have to figure out how to do laundry on your own.
There is a laundry room downstairs, but it only accept quarters.
You have to find a way get 12 quarters to do laundry, while Mia didn’t provide any help.
Maybe I assumed host might save quarters and can help you get some exchange if the host is trying to take care of the guests.
The only thing I can say is I had far more pleasant experiences staying at other Airbnbs.
The other thing is that you have to wash your own dishes cause she doesn’t use the dishwasher even there is one. I don’t know why…
Lastly, I had to take a flight at 5pm and I kindly asked if I can stay around until 3:30pm.
She said no cause she needs to clean for next guest.
The key point is there is no next guest.
Well, I think we probably angered each other the past few days, so she refused to let me stay for a couple more hours.
This is my first bad review for all products and services I have experienced.
I think we just can’t really get along.
Hope you enjoy your stay in San Diego:)
