I had reserved Wade’s AirBnB for a 3 night stay but canceled it after 1 night and checked into a hotel.
I felt very mislead by the pictures on the listing. The place is a studio not a 1 bedroom but I think the listing states it as a 1 bed room. That wasn’t that big of a deal. The primary reasons I canceled my stay were due to the following:
1) The smell
When I first stepped into the apartment, I could tell right away that there was some kind of mold issue. I opened up the closet in the bedroom area and found that the smell was coming from there. The smell is strongest in the bedroom but permeates everywhere else.
2) The locks
There’s a screen door and then the regular door. Both doors have a deadbolt except the regular door’s deadbolt can only be locked from the inside. So when you leave you can’t lock the deadbolt. The screen door did not lock at all. So when you left the AirBnB, you were not able to lock any deadbolt which is the lock that does the most to prevent break ins.
3) The curtains
You don’t see this in the pictures on the listing but the curtains are just some bamboo window panels that do not cover the screen door entirely and leaves a gap about 1 foot in width uncovered. Since the apartment is on the first floor, I felt VERY uncomfortable knowing that anyone could walk up to the lanai and peer into the apartment. The curtains themselves are also sheer and you’ll see people pass by.
4) Cleanliness
The apartment overall didn’t feel very clean to me. I’ve included pictures below:

Hope this review helps to show what the AirBnB is really like.
