We only stayed at the unit for 15 minutes because it was not the same one as shown in the photos. Our host originally told us that we were wrong but eventually admitted that yes the photos shown were of a different place that he stated were similar to where we were staying.
Although the layout may have been similar, we would not have chosen to stay here had we seen the actual photos. The unit was very run down and could benefit from some maintenance and updating. The photos on the Airbnb site showed a very updated remodeled space with a gorgeous tropical view. In actuality our view and smells were of dumpsters that were directly in front of our balcony in the parking lot of a nearby business area.
We received a refund from AirBnb under their guarantee policy and the host agreed with that as well. The property was in a great location near the beach and many restaurants. If the unit matched what we saw online prior to arrival we would have stayed and not needed to find somewhere else to stay.
Our host did offer to provide us with another location to stay but that was 24 hours later and we had already gotten another room somewhere else by this time.
