I’m frustrated w/ the roach infestation + response from hosts. It’s not healthy to stay, and Airbnb support couldn’t find a replacement host.
I packed, cancelled, and stayed in the car for hours calling hotels. Most were sold out or cost $800+ nightly for MLK weekend.
Michelle’s husband called at 2 AM. He found a 1-night hotel stay nearby. I’m grateful, but I paid $270 for 9 hours. And I spent time finding a place for night 2.
The hosts promised to reimburse $40 to replace dinner and $100 to help pay for a hotel. I’ve received $0. It’s been 12 days, and I followed up several times.
The hosts knew about the roaches starting a month ago and up to the last guest before me. They thought they were gone after setting and trashing traps. I wish I had known.
An unsanitary Airbnb caused undue stress. I paid $250+ more to relocate last-minute and replace meals. I’m not staying with these hosts again.
