We use Airbnb quite often and this was definitely the worst of the few bad experiences we’ve had. Not only was the description inaccurate but the place was filthy. It was almost as if our host hadn’t cleaned at all before our arrival.
There was dust and dog hair everywhere and a very strong “doggy” smell from the moment we walked through the door! Crumbs on the coffee table, stains on the kitchen rug and the garbage was full upon our arrival. We were astounded.
The description was also inaccurate. It was listed as an “entire place” which by definition means you have the whole place to yourself. However our host was in the upstairs bedroom (with his dog) and had free access to the entire downstairs (our space).
We complained immediately and he said he thought that his listing was clear about him being upstairs but that detail nor any mention of a dog was anywhere in the description of the place. The bed is also listed as queen size but it is just a full/double.
Because we arrived after dark we spent the first night (of a 3 night booking) but left the next morning and requested a refund for the other two nights. The host did refund us for 2.5 nights plus the cleaning fee.
The place has been recently remodeled and definitely has potential but be aware that a dog lives there and it’s quite obvious. We have 3 dogs at home so we’re used to a little dog hair here and there but this place was beyond our tolerances.
If they correct the inaccuracies in the description and hire a professional housekeeper then it would probably be a nice place to stay.
