PLEASE READ: I have never had a poor experience through Airbnb until now. First off, when we walked in the house smelled like weed. At the start, Jimmy gave us the incorrect code. We let all that go but after we returned from dinner, we came back and to much of our surprise, we were locked out! The garage had been pulled down with no entry- due to this we were stuck in the back alley in the pitch dark. Because of Jimmy's lack of preparation, he had a group of girls outside, and let's be real not a safe area at all. (This should be disclosed in the listing- very deceiving). Four of us climbed the fence to try the code for a while before we even contacted Jimmy since we thought the code he provided us with was the accurate one. My first call came through at 8:30. I asked for the code to the garage. Two other girls decided to go to the chicken shop next door to see if they could contact Jimmy because he said we could park there. The manager tried to call him because we couldn't get ahold of him. It was 8:58 when he finally called after we had to use every resource available to try to contact him. Due to the stress of that 3 people in the party went home. Then we still never even found the garage remote after sifting through all mailboxes outside, which Jimmy instructed us to do while on the phone with him. It felt like a bad Easter egg hunt. This was extremely frustrating when we just wanted to come back to the place change our clothes and go out for a special birthday celebration. We were there for about 2 hours total. We left the place spotless and we didn't stay there. Safety was a major concern. The chicken shop I mentioned had broken glass because they had an attempted robbery the previous night. Jimmy kept saying we were safe however because of his neglience, he had all these girls climbing the fence outside. Three people in scooters came by in ski masks as this was happening. To say the least a refund is not suggested, but should have been offered on his end without a doubt. After speaking with Jimmy, he told me requesting a refund was inappropriate. With everything stated above, I do not know how we can even think that. He refused to refund me, after promising me we could reach a compromise. I don't think it is fair for hosts to have the ability to deny a refund, especially when the issue surrounded him. Jimmy put his guests in harms way, and the cherry on top, he tried to downplay the entire situation. He will probably respond to this review accusing me of being a scammer, as he has with all other negative reviews. Please do not take this lightly. If you are thinking of staying in DC, save yourself the trouble, and choose any place but this one.
