While Andrew’s place wasn’t exactly as I expected, it was adequate, and it could have basically met my needs during my stay.
My last interactions with Andrew though, were bizarre. I had been there for two weeks and the one time we conversed outside after I checked in, he was pleasant. Then the air conditioning unit broke and he was about an hour away working. He asked me to meet his contractor to get it fixed. I agreed to swing by to let him in and instead I ended up sitting around waiting for almost 3 hours. Andrew’s response to his was “Remember it’s the South ;)”
When I declined to wait for the contractor again the next day because I was busy working and it was not my responsibility, he told me to “Contact Airbnb then and cancel the reservation immediately.”
How does one even respond to that? I contacted Airbnb support for help. After being unable to resolve things with Andrew, they assisted me in finding a new place and I left the next morning.
I love staying at Airbnb properties and I’ve had the most wonderful experiences every other time except this one. Perhaps look somewhere else? Andrew’s place looks much better in the pictures than it is and the lack of cleanliness, as well as having multiple things in disrepair were issues. Being told to leave and having to find another place to stay was stressful and disruptive.
Side note: My new place in NOLA is absolutely lovely so my story ended well.
