This room and experience was completely unacceptable and I demanded a complete refund. Room was dirty and damaged. There was stains, dirt, dust, and damage everywhere like it had not been cleaned or maintained in years. Linens were ripped. Curtains were ripped and half hanging off the rods. One of the main windows was broken and covered with plywood. Walls were cracked and several were warped from water damage (mold?) that were screwed down and painted over. Our room door and lock was damaged and duck taped. Rug was stained. Shower was disgusting and stained. There was even a used q-tip on the windowsill! Worst part was we shared an adjoining door with the hostess which had gaps you could see (into her apartment or into ours) and hear through, so there was no privacy at all. On top of that she said she had multiple cats in her apartment and our room smell heavily of cat piss….No joke. This was supposed to be a romantic birthday getaway for us and we knew this was supposed to be “unique” stay, but this was not ok at all. Both my girlfriend and I started feeling sick and our allergies kicked in after 30 minutes of being in the room and neither of us are allergic to cats or dogs. We immediately booked a hotel room and left after 40 minutes. When we were leaving the front door key didn’t work and we were literally trapped in the house until the hostess came and let us out. Down right scary experience and by the end we also felt unsafe. The dogs were cute, our hostess was cordial (but it felt like we were not the first to have issues…and like I said the “locked in” feeling was NOT ok.) and yes it does have a great location to Magazine St. The house could be amazing if it was just taken care of. Use that Airbnb money and hire carpenters and cleaners!
