Who likes to write bad reviews? Absolutely not me. And judging by the reviews of the host, my experience might well have been an accident, an exception to the rule.
To be fair, everything went great, until when I used the bathroom the sink was a little stopped up and gross. I sent the host a text to let him know, since I had two more nights. I was about to head out, expecting to get the kind of normal responses in my experience along the line of "I will fix it asap", however what I got threw me for a loop. And from there it went downhill rapidly. Since there is no option to attach screenshot of texts, I hereby copy paste the texts from the imessage app on my MAC.
Hi the sink in the full bathroom with the towels is a little stopped up and gross
I can’t be everywhere at once, if it’s bad take action yourself or you’ll have to wait until I get back from brunch
Excuse me?
What else would you like me to say or do? I’m still 45 minutes away
It’s probably just hair clogging the stopper
Takes all of a few minutes. Otherwise use another bathroom
Or stay at a hotel and you’ll get full time staff and private baths
Did I ask you to show up right away? I did not. And that’s beside the point. I simply alerted you to a problem as a host you are supposed to provide clean utilities
As a host I can’t monitor everyone’s behavior in the bathroom
If someone does something like clog the sink it might be a minute
Fine. Don’t expect a good review.
Same for you
Actually I’ll be contacting Airbnb, you need to leave today. I’ll refund any remaining days
I don’t do attitude
Lol. Unbelievable. Somebody got an anger problem. I’m checking out now.
Two days remaining.
Once cancelled I’ll send over the refund.
What was strange was that the host informed me that he fixed the sink, after I was no longer a guest. And it did not end there. The host even sent me an email politely reminding me to review my experience. I feel almost gaslighted. lol. Absurd.
