I truly hope that this review saves someone the ridiculous situation that John and AirBnB have put my partner and I in for the last several days. For context: my partner and I had to travel out of state to D.C. for a very quick event. The event would take place at night and end very late making it hard for us to make a long drive back home so we decided to rent an AirBnB for the night. We came across John's listing and, from the pictures, decided it was a good place for us to keep our things and spend the night before we head back home the next morning. Now, check-in time is at 4pm and check-out time is at 11am which means that the cleaning crew that John supposedly hired had about 5 hours to clean the rental unit before new guests arrive. Well, my partner and I arrived at the unit at about 5pm. The plan was to drop off our belongings, eat, get ready for our event and head out the door, it was really that simple. Now, we specifically wanted an AirBnB with a kitchen because I personally have an autoimmune disorder that gets triggered by cross-contamination so we can't really eat out anywhere. We brought some dinner from home and were planning to heat it up in the kitchen and eat so that we could assure that I would be physically safe and would not miss our event. Well, when we entered the AirBnB we were both completely in shock. The AirBnB looked like it had not been cleaned in MONTHS (at the very least)! The first thing we noticed was that the couch (made of a knapsack cloth material) was full of feathers which one can only assume it was due to the pillows, but if someone were cleaning, they would have naturally seen that and vacuumed the couch, right? They didn't. To the left of the couch are three front facing windows with plastic blinds and these blinds were covered in dead insects. There were dead bugs on the window ledge, on the blinds, below the window sill and so on and so forth. There were cobwebs on nearly every corner of every room and with every cobweb followed a pretty massive spider. We were absolutely disgusted. At this point my partner and I are preparing ourselves for the worst because the couch and the windows were clearly not overlooked, there was no one overlooking anything and it was clear as day. The floor was filled with long, dark black strands of hair intertwined with dust bunnies; the vents were coated with large amounts of dust which, again, is unsanitary but even worse when I have a severe dust allergy. This was all over the house by the way--under the couch, in the bedroom, in the bathroom. The bathroom sink was disgusting as was the kitchen sink but what really got me was that a similar strand of hair to those found on the floor was discovered in the shower curtain. Did I mention that the shower drain was completely clogged? Again, when I book an AirBnB, especially with having checked the previous reviews, I am not anticipating any of this so we showered with water up to our ankles in the dingiest place I have ever seen or stayed at in my entire life. After seeing all of this, I began to panic for 2 reasons: 1) I was mortified that someone had willingly taken our money with the promise of a clean and safe environment and 2) I knew this was not a safe place for me to eat in. The reason we were in D.C. in the first place was for the event we had to attend, remember? So while we are investigating, coming to terms with our circumstances and documenting everything (I have a total of 45 pictures and 1 video) time is ticking. We decide we do not have time to call for assistance as we need to make due with what we have at this very moment. So, my partner and I start disinfecting because as long as the bathroom and the kitchen are disinfected, we can at least eat and clean ourselves up from our long trip and finally go to our event. This, as you can imagine, takes a while. We finish disinfecting what we can (the kitchen was a greasy nightmare but as long as the counters, the fridge and the stove top were disinfected, it would be enough for me not to be in pain or experience a medical emergency). After all this, we rush out of the AirBnB and make it to the event late. Yes, we were late because when we planned our trip, we did not allot for time to CLEAN the rental unit that we payed for. Oops, silly us! Anyway, we attend said event and make our way back to the AirBnB unit around 11pm. We were tired, we were disgusted and wholeheartedly disappointed by our temporary living situation and we were trying to figure out our next move since now that the event was over. We decided it was late and that we figured neither John nor AirBnB would be able to solve our issue at 11pm at night. So, we did our best and even feeling as uneasy as we did, we went to sleep. The next morning, we got up bright and early, made our breakfast and darted out of there as fast as humanly possible and drove all the way back home. This was a very long drive and we were absolutely mortified so as soon as we got home, we got ourselves cleaned up and went to bed. The next day, we washed and disinfected EVERYTHING that we had brought with us. Everything. Now, this is important to the story because I contacted AirBnB about the conditions of our stay the next day after the day we returned home. I
