Too many cockroaches. We would expect some bugs in Hawaii but not this sort of problem. Found cockroaches in the kitchen cabinets and utensil drawers as well as everywhere else at night. This is a shared unit. You do get a private bedroom and bath but the rest of the unit is shared with other guests. I think in the future I will opt to only share the unit if it is owner occupied. The reason is that if owner occupied then they will know the condition of the unit. If not owner occupied then it’s possible to rent from an owner that either does not know or care about the condition. Our unit was sprayed for the cockroaches on day 5 of our stay and additional cleaning on day 6 so some effort was made to remedy the problem. However this unit cost me over $800 so I’m not at all happy. I will say the unit appeared clean upon arrival and remained clean throughout our stay so was shocked to encounter this problem.
Had I known that AirBnB will work with the guest for problems such as this then I would have walked out after the first day. You don’t have to put up with bad conditions folks. AirBnB will help. I didn’t know that until too late.
My take is that this is probably an average unit normally but we got the stuck with the worst week by chance. The entire condo gets sprayed routinely but obviously the unit should have sprayed before guests arrived. Would it be so bad for the owner to miss a few days rent so that the problem is resolved?
