The day of my reservation, Saegan notified me there will be construction on the house. She said I could cancel my reservation and receive a full refund, or get a discounted rate. Since her notification was on the day of my reservation, I chose the discounted rate to save me from the hassle of finding somewhere else to stay. Such a low blow in my opinion—she couldn’t let me know before the day of my arrival? Anyway, construction was horrible… I woke up to workers using a hammer/power tools on the windowsill right next to my bed. The worst Monday morning wake up call ever. I had planned on working remotely here but couldn’t because of the construction AND there’s no air conditioning. Instead, I had to attend my work meeting in a loud cafe ugh.
Upon my arrival, I found the previous guest’s hair on the bedding which suggests the sheets weren’t cleaned between reservations—gross. The cups and silverware were also dirty which isn’t that big of a deal since I cleaned them, but definitely the first time I’ve had that happen at an AirBnB. On my last day, I checked under the bed for anything I may accidentally leave behind… it was very dirty underneath. Cobb webs, dust/dirt, trash, etc. All of this suggests this room doesn’t get cleaned. Yuck.
Lastly, she said she’d give me a 50% discount but I only got 40% ($65 out of $165). Very displeased with the entire experience. I read the reviews and really wanted to like this stay, but she misled me quite a lot and that’s bad business.
This goes without saying, she’s great at communicating which was a relief.
