Upon arrival, my fiance and I were waiting at the gate of the airbnb that had no doorbell. After a minute or two, an older man walked out with a black-n-mild in his mouth and seemed surprised to see us, he asked what we were doing there and we told him we were there for the airbnb. Still surprised, he told us that it was going to be a real dark stay because there was no power. In all honesty he was cheery enough that we thought he was playing some sort of Halloween joke or something, but we realized that they really didn't have electricity. I wasn't too upset at this because I knew we would be able to figure out some alternative and he had let us into the gate so that we could sit on the steps outside and figure out what we were going to do. He told us he was going to run inside and get Barbra (the host) as well. At this point I was on the phone with support and the woman seemed confident that the next department would be able to help me out. Keep in mind, at this point in my story I am really not upset so a lot of the next part is hindsight from what I will go on to remember as one of the worst experiences I have had with airbnb. While walking around on the phone I look around the front yard. On one side there are a bunch of palm leaves that have fallen. The guy, (who I assume was Barbra's partner? Though we never got a confirmation of that) explained to us that there had been a hurricane recently (yes we knew, and yes we knew it had passed by the time we arrived) and so it wasn't surprising to see them. I wouldn't even think to take that as a reason to not stay here. No, the reason to not stay here was worse that that. There was fruit (or whatever it was) that had fallen from the tree above, which was littered all over the other side of the yard, and also attracting a mass amount of flies. I'm talking dead body in the bushes amount of flies not "oh my gosh a fly landed on me" amount. Again. Not a deal breaker for a person like me being that it was a lower cost place and I wasn't expecting to be spending much time in the front yard. At this point most of my issue became related to airbnb support however the main reason behind this place being a no go, came after the guy who had gone inside again to get Barbra, left the door open. I had told the airbnb person on the phone that, in order to speed up the process, I could maybe talk to Barbra and have her get on the phone to confirm the electricity being out. I poked my head in and yelled out for her in the big place but heard no response. I wasn't invited in so I still didn't feel comfortable just walking in on my own. After a short time we heard a scream from upstairs inside the building, followed by what sounded like a door slamming. About 30 second later, the guy came out of the place with no shoes on. He was surprised to still see us sitting there. Being that it had been an hour or so, and airbnb was going slowly as well, we had considered just staying at the place and making due with no electricity. When I brought it up, he said that it just wasn't going to work out at this place. Then he walked past us and got in his car and drove off. Yes, with no shoes. Keep in mind he also left the front door open when he left. All in all my story gets way worse than this though though I will spare you as, admittedly it was not due to this place past this point. Maybe it is worth bringing up the police officer that was shot nearby, which caused an entire precinct of officers to fly up and down the streets all around us? I don't know, you decide. Either way, as someone who has never even written a review I would just like to say, that I really do feel that I am going way out if my way to write this. If you are even reading this at this point I applaud you, I just want to mention that I am well traveled and I do not think that this place needs to be black listed. I think that the host Barbra (who I have STILL to this day not received a message from) was probably overwhelmed with other stuff in her life. Nevertheless, she neglected to tell us about the issue ahead of time and the power had been out for at least a day, if not more. In addition to that, the company she keeps seems to be cheerful but questionable. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
