I do not Recommend staying here. Douglas was communicative prior to check in. Upon check in I noticed several things that I brought to his attention.
1. The rug. Not sure if he is going for a Morrocan vibe but myself and child tripped several times on the rug. This could have been easily resolved by placing floor tape on the floor.
2. When you go to a restaurant... No one wants to sit at a wobly squeaky table. Same goes for the home. Table is warped and the other table is worn as well. If you are seeking college dorm room or Hostel accommodations...this is the perfect place for you.
3. In the bathroom closest to the kitchen there is Calcium deposits and mold on the " Golden Shower Head" and "Golden Faucet" that their pictures are advertising. It looks disgusting and unsanitary and I would not feel comfortable taking a bath or shower in that.
4. Decor: alot of the decor and bedroom furniture that is advertised is not there. In the bedroom that showed a black or dark brown headboard has been replaced with a cheap grey back board, no accent pillows, and no decor.
5. If you view the images closely you will catch a glimpse of the MINI fridge. We booked this location with intentions of cooking for our family. We could not fit our food into the fridge at all. This is an Economy kitchen, small fridge and the sink holds maybe a dish or two.
6. Want to turn off the air in the middle of the night? You will have to walk OUTSIDE of your apartment to turn it off, on, up, or down.
7.Stove: In all my years of checking into Airbnbs I have never seen foil on the aisles of the stove. When I brought this to his attention he stated it was to protect from food spills etc. Completely understand that, however it cheapens the look of the property and if that it how you are going to showcase your property, retake the pictures and show the cheap foil on the stove.
I brought all of this to the attention of Douglass and Airbnb within 1 hour of check in and I asked Douglass if we could be moved to one of his other properties due to not being comfortable with staying in this space. Douglas stated that he was fully booked and could not honor our request. I then requested a refund and he insisted that continue to reach out to Airbnb.
I question the character of an Airbnb host who uses deceptive photos to advertise their space. Update your photos weekly because we would not have stayed there had we seen these issues up close.
We decided to book another Airbnb, in the same area, and pics were as advertised in the same area. Do not book this place unless you are desperate for a place to stay. Very cheaply presented and not worth it.
Also we were allowed to check in early and left before 4pm. This host received payment for 3 nights and we stayed less than an hour. Do not stay here
