This is a warning to everyone considering Avantstay properties. They are a third party that completely disregards the Airbnb policies. This was my first time using them for reservations. Avantstay canceled my reservation the day before my trip. They offered me two options that were complimentary. I picked one and that is when the nightmare started. Avantstay kept making excuses as to why they couldn’t switch properties on Airbnb. They said they were having technical issues canceling the first property and updating it. It became very clear they didn’t want it to be tracked by Airbnb. On the day of my trip I followed up on the second home. They still hadn’t updated the Airbnb reservation online. Avantstay had promised they would block the property from the public since the day before. Fifteen minutes before check in, Avantstay messaged me that the previous guests had extended their stay. The home was no longer available and I had two options. Pick from the only two available homes or cancel my reservation. The entire time Avantstay knew I was driving to San Diego with my family from out of town. They had zero regard to that fact that I was in San Diego. They showed complete and utter disrespect to me as a guest. I ended up picking the only property that seemed decent to what I initially had requested. When we arrived to the home it was completely the opposite of what I expected. We were literally off the freeway near a homeless encampment facing us the entire time. To add insult to injury Avantstay messaged me instructions to a home we were not staying at. They gave me codes to a garage and parking gate that did not exist. They still kept insisting they couldn’t update Airbnb with the third property as well. This was the worst experience ever on Airbnb for me. Avoid Avantstay properties if you want to enjoy your trip.
